    Default What's "turnips" in Spanish??? :o)

    Hello, I only have one little question:

    Does the English "turnip" mean "rabano" in Spanish? I just bought one to try it and it smells like a rabano which I used to grate and mix in to the salads back in Argentina, but I don't recall seeing there the "turnips"...

    Asking a woman at the market, she said to cook it, but we never cooked the rabanos.

    Very grateful for a clarification please?

    Un millon de gracias!

    Adela

    Turnip es Nabo, y se usa para sopas, por ejemplo. Rábano es radish en inglés

    En México también es nabo y hacemos sopa de poro y papa con espinacas. Deliciosa.

    hola adela,
    no entiendo bien tu comentario, pero si, como creo, te refieres a la forma en la que se come el nabo, te diré que aunque sea una hortaliza debe ser cocinada. Yo nunca la he visto utilizar en crudo porque es muy dura. En Cataluña se utiliza en cocina tradicional para guisos cuya base es el cerdo

    no se si es esto lo que preguntabas.
