> They’re really very dry - very good in the baked vege pan and that’s about
it. They were a farm staple for many years. Being a late-season variety,
they could be harvested in autumn. Old time farmers would throw some up on
top of a farm shed, or the fowl house, wherever, and use them as stockfeed
during the winter. Nowadays one gets better nutrition out of a bag at the
produce agency.
