Around our way they say "Oilseed Rape" - and even that is a euphemism of sorts.

I had a colleague once whose husband was a farmer. She told me he delighted in coming in from working when she had her respectable ladies around for tea, and saying things like "I'm thinking of having a little Rape in the top field".
