I've forgotten what the rest of the English speaking world calls them.
Is it turnips??????


Yes turnips or perhaps swedes (not Swedes). Other than stock feed the only
reason to grow them is to get something fresh when it is very cold and not
much else will grow. SWMBO puts them in winter soup, luckily there are many
other things in there and you don't notice. Thinly sliced in salad - well
you would have to be desperate.
