Maybe it was a regional thing. I know it was sold in all the Italian owned produce markets and the supermarkets with roots for quite some time.
Here's how I remember it, but the roots were much much smaller/slimmer/tender. I am not talking about the carrot sized parsley roots version. This pic was poached from Santa Monica farmer's market, so I guess it is sold like this somewhere still. Maybe it was an early season vs. late season parsley crop situation, memory has faded.
edit: just realized pic is probably cilantro, not parsley.
