My lady -

Please take no offence at what I write, but what type of turnip are you used
to?  I like turnips, but tend to find them somewhat on the bland side
(especially the way my grandmother prepared them for Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinner) unless properly seasoned and/or buttered.  I might rather
like to try one of your pungent turnips if I could but find one.
