I grabbed this at WF but it was mislabeled as "celery hearts" which it's definitely not! It looks sort of like a parsnip but it's warty, and this was the least warty and gnarly of the lot...plus they had parsnips nearby and they looked different. I wish I knew what it was so I could find a use for it! Any guesses?

@spaniellove: kinda looks like a form of yucca?
When all else fails, throw it in a roast! hehe

My guess was parsnip, but I guess you narrowed that out 
Want to cut it open?

@locavore_mama: Hmm...possibly? I wish I was a better cook and could just tell from the way something looked what I should do with it!
ETA: That's true! It is a root after all!

If it was labeled as "celery heart", is there any chance it is celeriac?? I've never seen one so long, but other than that it looks a lot like celeriac!

I still think it is a parsnip--maybe they had the other things mislabeled! Parsnips can be treated just like potatoes.

@yoursilverlining: That's kind of what I was hoping when I bought it...I didn't know what a celery heart was! So I thought it was a skinny/early celery root.

@spaniellove: If it is celeriac, that's an odd looking one! 
We love celeriac pureed with parsnips in soup, and also use shredded celeriac in a sort of cole slaw/veggie slaw. It's got a nice, peppery flavor!

@yoursilverlining: I love mashed potatoes with celeriac so much that I never make it without anymore!

Hm. Don't know about celeriac. They're usually rounder and more of a.yellow green color, I thought.
