n.名词 noun

plural sal·si·fies.
- : a purple-flowered, composite plant, Tragopogon porrifolius, whose root has an oyster-like flavor and is used as a culinary vegetable.

This method is especially satisfactory with new potatoes and with such vegetables as carrots, parsnips, salsify, and turnips.
When thus prepared, salsify lends itself to the same forms of preparation as do the other root vegetables.
The salsify was more cultivated a century or two ago than it is now.
Or, instead of mashing the salsify after boiling, some prefer to drain it, and to dip each piece in batter and fry it in hot lard.
Use a pint of salsify cut fine, boil until soft in a pint of water, mash and put through a sieve.
