They’re occasionally hard to find here in the PNW, but I get them when they’re available. In addition to all the applications mentioned thus far, they’re good roasted, too. ---

These sound pretty tasty. I must try them sometime. ---

My stepmother used to make kohlrabi pretty regularly, sliced and steamed, and served with lots of melty butter, if I recall - but I don’t know if I actually recall very well. I saw some at the grocery store the other day and thought I should buy some and reintroduce them to my menus, but … er… I can’t figure out how I would peel them. Or remember if they need to be peeled, even. ---

[QUOTE=LifeOnWry] Or remember if they need to be peeled, even. [/QUOTE] Most people do, but it’s a texture/preference thing, not an inedibility thing. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-eat-kohlrabi/389489.md?page=1)
