now I want root vegetable stew

While I have a clear mental image and concept of the nature of both leeks and parsnips, I keep mixing them up in translation exercises absent-mindedly because the idea of preparing, eating, or buying just one of them without a full array of other root vegetables in the same dish still doesn't really compute (I have this problem in Swedish and Finnish too. In fact, I just double-checked the terms in Finnish right now). It's like my brain refuses to recognize that it matters if I'm not concentrating. I'm sure that if I knew the words for rutabaga, fennel root, and celeriac, all of them would get the same treatment (even though fennel fronds are independently useful in my experience).

I've been informed that in Wales leeks are commonly seen on pizza, which is funny but honestly not weirder than the Finnish or Japanese pizzas I've seen. Less weird, really.
