Hi Dave,

I'll browse both meat and produce sections, especially in the better
stores. I found fresh parsnips in the Raleigh Wegman's a couple of years
ago, then in the Wake Forest one when it opened up. I usually get some
to use in winter time cooking, things like beef stew or a mix of carrots
and parsnips as a side dish.

 DD> That being said - my HyVee probably has it. They have an *extensive*
 DD> produce department.

You might find it there. Back when Steve was taking German at the
Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA, at a class family picnic one
of the instructors brought a celery root salad. If I remember rightly, I
also saw celery root in grocery stores/on produce stands in Germany. Not
totally unknown, just have to know where to look.
