Turnips in mustard sauce

by Don  

Today I made turnips in mustard sauce from How to cook everything. My first reaction is: edible. We didn't eat turnips in my home growing up, so I'm not quite sure what they are supposed to taste like, and there was an oddish, slightly bitter taste to them. The mustard sauce was good, but it was strong enough that I'm not sure that I was actually tasting the turnips. I look forward to eating them again over the next few days and see how my palette reinterprets them. The caloric ingredients:

Turnips 2 lbs 3 oz280
Grey Poupon mustard 3 tbsp45
Corn starch 2 tsp20
Olive oil 1 tbsp120
Total: 465

Dividing the recipe into four servings brings us to about 116 calories per serving, which is entirely reasonable for a side dish.
