The only holiday tradition my immediate family keeps every year is to have a side dish of rutabaga at Thanksgiving. My grandfather on my dad’s side was a POW in WWII. He was pretty much starved (went from over 200lbs to 130lbs) in prison. The only food the prisoners were given was plain, RAW, rutabaga. I don’t even know how they ate it as it is nearly impossible to cut when it’s raw. Anyway, I wanted to find a different kind of recipe for rutabaga this year (there are many ways to prepare it) so I googled rutabaga dishes and stumbled across this one. Don’t know how it’s going to taste, but it sounds and looks yummy!
