What do they taste like?

There are some flavors in rutabaga that are similar to turnips, but the texture is a lot more firm and IMO texture can impact taste.
At times, I can taste hints of carrot. I taste no cabbage. The wife says there is parsnip flavor in them and I am sure she is right because she is very smart about such things.
They are more stronger flavored than turnip roots, which I see as fairly mild. Of course, I cook them with sugar, salt and butter, which are three of my favorite things.
I asked the wife a moment ago, and she said, "Rutabaga", then smiled at me and left the room.

Am I the only one that see some of these pictures upside down?

Upside down?
Wouldn't have surprised me, But I checked and they are OK on my screen.

Great post MD. I sometimes sub them for a low carb, low calories alternative to potatoes is soups & stews.
I cook them just like you did here, in separate pot, then strain and add them at the end. This prevents their assertive flavor from overpowering the dish.

I am certain I will do a soup of some sort this next week using some as one of the components. Hopefully it will cool off some to make for better fall soup weather. They should make a nice savory addition. 99% of the time, I boil them and eat as shown or mash them. Might try drizzling oil or butter over them and broiling some too.

I was a produce manager for a long time and I know quite a bit about most produce but that is a lot of miscellaneous info about a root veggie lol.
I have had these a couple times in my life and didn't really care for them. That being said, this preparation is interesting. I might give it a shot while my wife is out of town after xmas.

I love rutabagas, always add them to vegetable soup. If you like cabbage, you'll like them.

Nice post.
I like rutabagas and a Swiss peeler works quite well.
Also like to mash some and combine them with mashed/smashed potatoes.

We have a local farmer here in Pensacola that grows them. They come with the greens and we use those too. We put them in with the roots about the last 20 minutes of cooking They are good and taste like mild turnip greens to me.
The roots are smaller and easier to cut up than the waxed ones in the supermarket.

Evidently, the leaves can be cooked and eaten like a leaf vegetable, like turnips,
I grow them in a box with my turnips, and when I want greens I pick from both the turnips and rutabagas. When they are cooked down I cant tell the difference.

Thank you for posting this, made me take a moment and think about my mother. As a kid I would come running into the house and could smell the rutabagas cooking. I would holler, Momma is cooking rutabagas, which was great because me and Mom were the only ones in the family that liked them.
