torturedsole Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Which country are parsnips generally sourced? Interested to know as my Thai wife loves the UK grown varieties due to the sweetness and texture. Never heard of Thai parsnips, though could be wrong. Thanks.

rak sa_ngop Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I bought some in Villa Supermarket a few years ago. Pretty expensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The ones in Thailand are imported from Australia, and are expensive,they could grow them here,as they are already growing carrots,Kohlrabi,and leeks, I wish the kings Project here in Chiang Mai would grow them ,swedes as well, regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased some several months ago in the Royal Project section of Gourmet Market; Emporium. Perhaps grown on a small scale, most going to restaurants. I like roasted vegetables and the parsnips I roasted along with cauliflower & leeks were delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asda UK, 500g for £0.20. Thailand, land of rip-offs. UK: Heinz soup, 4 cans for £1. Thailand: 1 can for £2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imported products can be expensive in any country, although I take your point that certain imported foods in Thailand are a bit shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have soup prices in the UK got to do with parsnips' price in Bangkok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
