1) Trim and peel the turnip, then slice it into
thin pieces which are shaped like anchovy filets.
Drop the pieces into rapidly boiling water and boil
for 3-5 minutes, until they are tender but not too
soft. Drain.
2) Arrange the turnip pieces neatly on a plate.
Pour the oil over them, making sure all the surfaces
of the turnips are covered.
3) Salt the turnips liberally, then sprinkle on the
poppy seeds carefully, covering all the exposed
surfaces, but keeping the poppy seeds on the
"anchovies" only.
