GUEST,Jim Dixon BS: Origins: The Rutabaga (28) RE: BS: Origins: The Rutabaga 21 Apr 08

I have lived in St. Paul, Minnesota, for more than 40 years, and I have never heard anyone here call a rutabaga a "Swede". I thought that was British terminology.

In fact, I have rarely heard anyone mention them at all. Who eats them? Nobody I know. I'm not sure I could tell the difference between a rutabaga and a turnip. I'm not sure I want to.

I have no idea what a mangelwurzel is. I infer it's something in the same family, but I have never heard them mentioned in the US.

However, I have eaten turnip greens. I rather like greens: kale, turnip, mustard, collard. I buy them in cans.
