Here's something you might (or might not) want to cook up and take the next time you tailgate:

A rutabaga casserole with carrots.
INGREDIENTS:
1 large rutabaga, peeled and cubed
4 medium carrots, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
1 egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
dash pepper
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup cooked rice
PREPARATION:
Cook rutabaga, covered, in boiling salted water until tender, about 25 minutes. Drain well. Cook carrots in boiling salted water for about 5 minute, until just tender.
Transfer cooked rutabaga to a mixing bowl. With an electric hand-held mixer, beat rutabaga with butter, egg, brown sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and fluffy. Stir in milk; stir in rice and carrots. Spoon into a buttered 10x6 or 8-inch square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35 to 40 minutes.
Serves 10 to 12.

I can't wait to see how Jeffy-Pooh and/or The Felon gets mixed into THIS thread...<G>

Nice...

I got a couple things to add.

Steaks on the grill
If possible let steaks marinate in beer all day and throw on the grill
Or... for the bourbon crowd... get a bowl, dump in your favorite BBQ sauce, add a little Lowry's, and a good tip of the 101 bottle. Pour over your favorite steaks for a portion of the day and refrigerate. Then get the grill good and hot and cook'em to a good medium-rare.

One question and one statement:

(a) What the Hell is a rutabega?

(b) I see no references in your post to "You know who?" I'm waiting to see how they get worked into this topic.

had it once .. in grade school .. the "chef" loved the stuff and made rutabega pies all the time .. I thought it was funny looking apple .. 'till I tasted it .. still can't get the taste out of my mouth...yech!

I bet that chef was related to JG .. or JJ .. or maybe RH!!! yeah, that it: RH .. he spoiled a great day for a smart (and cute) 2nd grader...

but what is it? it looks kinda like yellow turnips .. but tastes like horsey poo (so I'm' told .. never worked up the courage to try the latter but probably should have - nothing can be worse than rutabega!)

Seriously Bob, who the heck actually EATS rutabega? (besides you). And where the heck do you find it?

[BringBackWilkesboro]

Hmm... I'm not quite sure what exactly a rutabega is, but I hear from the people who do that it's a pretty under-rated [insert food category].

ya had to go and ask the question, didn't ya?

the rutabega according to wikipedia is a root vegetable that originated as a cross between the cabbage and the white turnip. Some claim the vegetable is native to Sweden, but others think it was introduced to Sweden, possibly from Finland or Siberia, in the early 17th century. From Sweden, it reached Scotland, and from there it spread to the rest of Great Britain and to North America. The town of Cumberland, Wisconsin, celebrates a "Rutabaga Festival" each year, always the weekend preceding Labor Day Weekend. The International Rutabega Curling Championship annually takes place at the Ithaca, NY, farmer's market.

If you so desire, additional reading is just a click away at Rutabaga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Want to try one? check with the vegetable-person at your local supermarket.

Sorry ... I'm not a big turnip or cabbage fan and the name alone makes me think twice about it. I know ... that isn't a good excuse but I'm a kid at heart.

I hate rutabaga. My mom used to make it. Stinks up the house.
