* 3 Parsnips
* Banana essence or extract
* Sugar to taste

===Method===
* Choose young parsnips if possible for they are more tender and have a sweeter taste. Peel the parsnips, do not slice.
* Either cook in a small amount of unsalted water until tender or put into a steamer, cover and cook over boiling water.
* If boiling the parsnips, then dry well on kitchen paper. If steaming the parsnips, simply remove from the steamer and dry.
* Slice the cooked parsnips and put into a bowl and mash, add a few drops only of banana essence or extract. The easiest way to obtain a small amount of essence or extract is to dip a skewer into the bottle and then hold this over the bowl so the drops fall.
* Continue adding banana flavouring until you get the right taste. Add sugar to taste then mash until smooth.
Use as a sandwich filling or as a pudding with yogurt or custard.
