>Thanks, Leanna

A Swede for us in Wales is what you call a Rutabaga :-)  The vegetable
originally, so I understand, came over to us from Sweden as a "Swedish   
Turnip" a couple of centuries ago.  The name was subsequently shortened to   
Swede.  We tend to use them in stews, and also mashed up with butter and    
pepper, or mashed together with potatoes which we call "Potch Erfyn" Erfyn
being our word for Swede.

 PS We also use Swedes to make Jack-o-lanterns out of vs pumpkins at
 halloween! :-)
