After seeing the posting about Scottish food with a turnip and potato dish, I thought I'd post this. From Justine Wilson's Cajun cooking show on PBS ( the intro has a nice little blurb on Acadians -> Cajuns :-) ) Turnip and Onion Casserole Olive Oil 4 to 5 medium turnips 1 large white onion 4 eggs 1 cup white wine 3 cups grated cheese (any kind that melts good - he used a mixture of chedder and jack) 1/2 cup parmesan cheese Oil a 9 x 13" baking pan with olive oil. Slice the turnips and onions thinly, then alternate layers in the pan. Top vegetables with grated cheese. Beat eggs and wine together (Justine says once it smells like eggnog you have the right proportion of eggs and wine). Pour mixture over casserole. Sprinkle top with parmesan cheese. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour, or until turnips are tender.
