is it sweed or turnip? its got a brown skin and pale yellow flesh -its sweed

[nannybooby]

turnips are white .All agreed ?

[jackthehat]

Swede - unless you are Scottish........in which case it's a Neep (Turnip).

[rowanwitch]

we've had this discussion before....

Even presented with scientific classifications some on here insisted they are all turnips... but you are right

[mccfluffy]

Swedes are yellow and turnips are white

[annie0000]

as jack says - unless you are Scottish and the opposite is true - in fact we would probably call them all turnips.

[LoftyLottie]

Yep, a swede.

The scots have just got it wrong!! ;o)

[rowanwitch]

here we go...round two of the great turnip contest...

[LoftyLottie]

I love mashed swede with butter and black pepper. Whole big mounds of the stuff!! Pig food really.

[redman41]

swede or sweed ?

[anneasquith]

swede are smaller than turnips, turnips are yellow/orange

[LoftyLottie]

Swedes are yellow and orange and are bigger than white turnips!!

Bloomin' Scots!!

[anneasquith]

WHAT!! LOL.

[Euphemia]

Swedes are the yellow things you have with your haggis

[jackthehat]

It causes no end of bother for those of us in 'mixed-marriages'....LoL

[annie0000]

Let me think here - who's national dish contains copious amounts of turnips? I think that would be us Scots, so if we say that it's turnip, then it's fecking turnip!!!

[Euphemia]

... or neeps

[ChuckFickens]

Doesn't really matter, they are both equally as good for weighting down your bin bags so they don't get blown away.

[annie0000]

true euphemia.

[LoftyLottie]

I now want some mashed swede - not turnip - SWEDE, the orange one with brown skin, SWEDE.

Mutter, mutter mutter.....................

[B00]

Both 'orrible, chuck 'em both in the bin, then never mention them ever again. That way you don't have to puzzle over this eternal conundrum.

[annie0000]

but then what would you eat with your haggis B00?
