I'd love to see that if you have the time to take a few pics!
I used to live near a big open air market, and in the last few years I've noticed a revival of old root vegetables; some local producers managed to make a living selling only that kind of food.
The usual explanation for their disappearance was that during the second world war, people had to eat a lot of them, and without any special cooking (they'd only boiled them in water.) So after that eating this kind of roots vegetables reminded people of war and they were avoided.
