Anyone know what these are
Dropped of the back of a trailer yesterday,can't have them littering the street  ;D

My first thought was of a stunted parsnip. My second thought is of some sort of beet used for animal feed. I think sugar beet is more of  ablack colour.
Boil them up with some rabbit and see what they taste like...... ;D

Yes I think they are sugar beet ,just been reading up on it says they transport them Jan to Feb to the factory's to have the sugar extracted just tried a bit raw it tastes like a sweet mild flavoured turnip gonna try some grated on my salad this dinner time,if you don't hear from me again don't try this at home  ;D

It's sugar beet. cut up, crush, extract liquid, reduce liquid, =  pure mollasses-type sugar,  yummy!! ;D
