Gladiator
Vigorous, canker-resistant, and germinates faster than most parsnips — which is to say it only takes two weeks instead of four. Smooth-skinned and reliable, like a parsnip should be.

Parsnip soup with crispy sage
Sweat onion, add chunked parsnips, a splash of white wine, stock. Simmer, blitz until velvety. Fry sage leaves in butter until crisp, scatter on top. Winter comfort perfected.
