*Pastinaca sativa* you delicious white beet
Scarcely seen on today's market street
You've been growing in every garden of old
this is what our anchesters told...

In German we have many different names for parsnip. They all tell us what it was just for besides in the kitchen for cooking - "Hammelmöhre",  "Hirschmöhre",  "Moorwurzel" or  "Welsche Petersilie". What are the names in English - honestly, I do not know - you tell me :-)

Today's chicken soup was enriched with parsnip, autumn carrots, cellery and parsley from the garden. A big thanks to @coffeetime for calling for posts on parsnip :-) 

Hope you all are having an enjoyable Sunday and Cheers from the seven mountains in Germany.
