     Whatever you do, however, it's probably best to avoid having the term "rapes" on the menu.  People have a tendency to take that one sooooo
wrong!  :)

     OTOH, I don't see that "armored turnips" is all that scary a name
(I've even had people request the dish, once they hear what the
"armoring" onvolves).  "Armored neeps" however, would make me think
twice about it, if I wsn't familiar with Period terminology . . . I mean,
I can see the word "neep" conjuring all *kinds* of interesting speculation.
