When we had a veg box, I'd make them into coleslaw.

TBH, they're best left to rot in the veg box. :hohoho:

OK just looked and one site said raw, roasted, fritters, steamed or soup are good ways to use it! They described ti to be a mix of cabbage / broccoli in flavour.

Yep, they're the ones. Something between a turnip and a cabbage. Poor things.
