Personal Notes:
My grandparents, the Hafleys, loved rutabaga...and now so do I...since my 40's. One day I dropped in at their house at lunchtime...sniffed an interesting smell that turned out to be rutabagas...and have adored them ever since. They're a very hard, winter vegetable...peeling, chunking, and thin slicing in the food processor speeds up the process.
