Although there may be in market a goodly showing of vegetables from
almost every part of the country, not everything is calculated to
supplement the flavor of roasted goose so well as is a sweet and
well-flavored turnip. Particularly is this the case if the turnips are
cut into fanciful shapes, such as dice, crescents, etc., with the
vegetable cutters, which come expressly for this purpose, boiled till
tender and then served with melted butter and chopped parsley poured
over them.
