Julia Child's Puree of Rice and Turnips With Herbs and Garlic image

From Mastering the Art of French Cooking, 1970. "Unless your friends know that Freneuse is Turnipville, on one of the serpentine twists of the Seine northwest of Paris, they will have ot other cule to identify this marvelous mixture. Serve it with red meats, pork, sausages, chops, goose, and ducklings" I can tell you from my personal experience how drop dead delicious this is. People will never guess the ingredients! Enjoy! T.J.
