	Actually, we recently had the "Great Turnip Debate" on Tavern
Yard, and concluded that turnips weren't common that early in Britain. 
They were brought over from the continent,  Waverly Root says "However,
it is on record that turnips were one of the principal foods of the
Flemish in the fifteenth century, and the first turnips to be sent to
England, in the first half of the fifteenth, came from Holland, with no
applause from such Britons as the one who wrote that 'the poor Dutch men,
like swine, digge up the rootes!'"
	The discussion went on for weeks, lots more was said, but there
you are.
