A marvelously bonkers expression, in use since the early 17th century, that seems to simultaneously suggest that root vegetables are best eaten with dairy produce and that bad news is bad news, no matter how you spin it.
Badgers, on the other hand, have no need for the butter dish and seem quite content to feast on parsnips straight from the ground, once they've worked their way through the more easily accessible sweetcorn and carrots.
