I love rabbit but did not like the bits about them in the programme. 

Anyone grown Salsify? and scorzonera? He was very enthusiastic.  Never tried it myself.

Yes I grew Salsify last year, we loved it. A bit thin rooted and fiddly to prepare.....its a cross between a mild parsnip and carrot in flavour. The texture is lovely and creamy.

In my opinion......well worth the effort ;D

bloke on our allotments grew it in a raised bed for the first time this year, he seemed to like it  ;D

Had salsify in my local farm shop this week. Shall have to try it now!

Trying it sounds a good idea.  No joke growing something and then discovering you do not like it.

We grew it, along with scorzonero, didn't like either - seeds went into a swap  :) :) :)
