Funny note... I went to Scotland last Spring to visit a friend and wanted
to try haggis. She went through the whole routine about having it with
"neeps and tatties", so I asked her what neeps were. She couldn't quite
explain, except they sort of looked like turnips, but weren't. So, off we
went to the store and in the veggie section she looks about a bit and goes
"Aha!" I giggled and she said "What?" I said, "That's a Rutabaga." Turns
out Swedes or neeps are what I know as a Rutabaga.

p.s. Haggis is wonderful, wish we could get McSween's here. <sigh>
