Well, I’ve already made Turnip Juice so it was only a matter of time before I tackled Rootmarm. While Jebediah Springfield doesn’t specify the ingredients in his recipe, he does make sure to note that A Flavorless Mush Called Rootmarm is, in fact, flavorless. So I didn’t add any spices to the mush mix, not even salt. You can probably guess where this is going…on to the recipe!
Ingredients
- Turnip
- Parsnip
- Beet
Directions
Peel the parsnip and the turnip. The beet juice WILL get everywhere, so be sure to handle with care. Roughly chop all the vegetables and boil until soft. Drain and mash into a mush.
The rootmarm actually didn’t taste terrible, it just tasted incredibly bland. My suggestions is to eat this while it’s still hot, because then it’s not quite as mushy tasting. Eaten cold it tastes a lot like baby food, which it basically is.
The real question is: would I prefer to live a life of chastity, abstinence, and A Flavorless Mush Called Rootmarm or to marry my attractive cousin? While I DO have several attractive cousins (not bragging, these are just the facts), I just can’t think of them in a marrying type of way. So I guess it’s a life of rootmarm and abstinence for me!
