To not like buttered parsnips?

[joystir59]

They are all over MN at the moment and making me feel nauseous tbh. Anyone else wish they'd stop being mentioned?
Yes= buttered parsnips should stop being mentioned on MN
No= buttered parsnips are delicious, even on mn

I noticed someone on here using that phrase yesterday. I thought wtf?? Never heard it before.

I like a roast parsnip but I would not butter them.

Ah, the way Joe says it makes more sense - 'hopefully' doth butter no parsnips - i.e. hoping/just talking about something will not get it done.

My DM does her own revolting take on roast parsnips, boils them to buggery, mash them to an inch of their lives then puts them in a foil dish in the oven to crisp up. Retired school cook.

Its June Dad!

Never had them, never even heard of them.

Couldn't get worked up about a parsnip though.

Why would you be unreasonable to not like a food? It's completely normal. I don't like grapefruit, but I don't start threads about it because I'm sure that nobody cares. Can't say that I've noticed any mentions of buttered parsnips either.

I'm with you OP even though so many posters have no idea what you are on about.

This is not a phrase that should be encouraged.

Alternative food phrases of a similar meaning are available:
"It just didn't cut the mustard"
"I had no beef with her"
"It just wasn't my cup of tea"
The latter being my personal favourite.

These posts annoy me. You are entitled to like or dislike whatever food/music/film/etc. you want.

None of the above mean the same thing as
fine words butter no parsnips

Well what the fuck does it mean then?

Mashed swede is much worse than buttered parsnips.
