Ask Teh Rev: Week 10
A short question this week. David Jones of Alabama enquired:
"Do you peel parsnips?"
This is an interesting question, not least because only the other day, someone found the Reverend's Journal by typing this very question into Google and following the links they were presented!
It is good that so many people are finding my journal through the marvels of modern technology. Word of Mouth is dead!
Unfortunately, this question seems to be something of a repetition of the one I answered from dear Rosemary some weeks ago. It is not acceptable that people cannot read very carefully, and this would not have been acceptable when Jesus Walked the Earth. If you didn't read, then you had your eyes removed and you took them back to the nearest Vision Express, or Specsavers, where they were doing "2 for 1" offers on new eyeballs.
The answer to the question is as before. Raw parsnips are best, but only if you can cope with the roughage, and have teeth like sledgehammers. Otherwise, the parsnip is peeled and given a good roasting.
Try not to buy frozen parsnips from your local supermarket. Only Heathens would dare freeze the Mighty Parsnip! I told that to the manager last time he tried to shut me inside the freezer cabinet for complaining again that their colour scheme was surely inspired and stolen from McDonalds: a clear sign of Heathenous Activity amongst the Marketing Department.
Go Forth And Spread This Word! I Do Not Want To Have To Answer It Again!
