    :rotfl: It might but won't taste like it. Never tried mashed kohlrabi & potatoes yet.

    Identifying the veg is half the fun...I didn't know until fairly recently that you can get white and orange beets....I thought all beetroot was red. :o

    Looks like a Hitler Melon.
  • In the Abel & Cole cookbook they say that when they send out a box with Kohlrabi in it the accompanying leaflet says that "the thing in your box that looks like an alien is a Kohlrabi" :)

    best of everything; they just make the best
    of everything that comes along their way."

    White sprouting broccoli is lovely. I used to grow it, but for some reason only grow the purple kind now.
