Lovely. Especially mashed up with carrotts and / or turnips. ( scared2:)

Nah ~ It's Parsnips that you mash with carrots, butter and curry powder.

Yak!

Anywho, as an aside Mrs TG call a swede a turnip. Is this a northern thing or is she mad as a fish?  rubschin:

Yes (To both questions prolly) but deffo the naming of Swede/Turnip is a regional thing.

Swede


Turnip


William Cobbett in his "Rural Rides" (Written in the early 1800s) refers often to Swedish Turnips. Most confusing
