After leaving a few parsnips in a bit too long, I now have some lovely looking leafs; tempting I think to cut for the pot.
Poison or pleasure?
Toxic.

Even touching the leaves can bring some people out in nasty rashes, don't eat them for gawds sake
I think it was Emma Jane that posted a picture of her arm that was covered in a nasty rash from touching parsnip leaves, looked worse than nettle rash. :o
