Not tonight.
No probably Thursday.
I'll keep that in mind.
They are if all people eat is fast food!
I've had similar experiences - where the Things tell me some of their friends didn't know what this veggie was or that one, etc. I've had all the veggies you mentioned, and except for artichokes have prepared them for my kids, as well. BTW, how do you prepare artichokes? When I lived in Italy, I used to visit a neighbor in our building every day in the summer, and helped her prepare their big daytime meal. She used to make stuffed artichokes all the time. I think I ate them once in a while, but seem to recall that they were bitter. I haven't had them in ages.
Where is Whole Foods?
I steam them and either dip them in salt or sometimes melted butter with hot sauce. I think RoseRed eats them with mayo. I've never actually made anything with a fresh artichoke because I think they're good all by themselves.
I go to the one in Annapolis.

We eat the "plain jane" veggies.. carrots, corn, green beans, peas, etc. I don't cook well enough to use the "fancier" veggies.
I'm about ready to try tunips again after being forced to eat them as a kid. I don't think I've ever had a parsnip. Maybe I'll go crazy and try those too!

Adopt me please !
I think it has a lot to do with foods people were exposed to when they grew up. I don't recall being served parsnips or acorn squash but I know what they are. Have to admit I've never cooked either on of them.
I did a lot of cooking like fried chicken, fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, string beans, lima beans, leafy greens like collard & kale, and I love brussels sprouts, although I wouldn't eat them as a kid. I still make homemade macaroni and cheese which most people don't do anymore. I'd rather eat freshly prepared food than the quick-fix alternatives that are usually filled with preservatives and chemicals.
The folks who work in the grocery stores I thought received training on vegetable recognition? At least I know Giant Food used to train their people.

I love turnips. I love parsnips. I love rooooootabega. About the only veggie I don't like is lima beans, which isn't a veggie anyway.
Roast in the crockpot or GodPot, with root vegetables. Yum yum!

I am a roooooooootabega fan myself. I don't know why but I have just never cared for turnips. Lima beans are great!

I have started a "Root vegetable revival!"
What do you do with it, mash it?
Peel and cut into ~1" chunks, cover with water, bring to boil, drain. Add butter and salt and you have something fit to eat.

I typically treat them just like spuds. Good on their own or with a corned beef brisket
