Subject: RE: Rootabaga Stories
I think Rutabagas are called Swedes in England. I think they were called Swedish turnips many years ago. Turnips have white flesh, may be purple or green on top, and are quite tender. Swedes have purple tops and yellow flesh, and you need an axe to cut them up (at least that's how my father-in-law grows 'em).

And in Scotland they're all Neeps!
