Salsify

No, the CC is not further enriching the English language by turning nouns into verbs (a tendency that is as old as English itself.)

The CC came across while browsing through some Southern oyster recipes, and since the CC has turned blasé and so seldom runs across new stuff in cookbooks, he hied himself to the net to find out what this was?

Surprise! It's a plant with roots.


The root supposedly has the texture of carrots, and the taste of oysters (which probably means umami, and now the CC wants to find it!)
