Wars have been fought over less

Is it a Riverford or Able and Cole turnip ?

Not sure Waitrose sell turnips so they wouldn't have grazed my eyeline.

Leave it.

Is it a Riverford or Able and Cole turnip ?

Able and Cole, organically trucked up the motorway on a giant 40 tonne artic.

Turnips - small, white with a purple blush
Swedes - bigger, purple and cream on the outside, yellow on the inside
Parsnips - long and tapering, creamy white in and out

An Italian friend once introduced me to simply the coolest 'snack' ever... she sliced raw fennel onto a plate, put some black pepper on it, and she drizzled (yes, she drizzled) some olive oil over it. That was a quick snack. I wanted to marry her on the spot.

You seem like a nice guy, but we're going to fall out. N England; the big ones are turnips, the small ones are swedes. I'm OK on the parsnips definition though

Have you not seen a swede and a turnip in the same room?

Have you not seen a swede and a turnip in the same room?

I have, I went cycling with Rich and Marmion.

We're talking England football managers aren't we?

This is my experience as well. I prefer the rutabaga. Mrs. GA makes the pasty with rutabaga, as apparently that is the way its' done in da yoop.(Upper Peninsula of Michigan) Turnips are a littler thing, and less robust, perhaps inferior to both rutabagas and parsnips.

Why go off half-cock? Trash the turnips and lay in a stash of nourishing mangel-wurzels.

Better yet, eat the pig that eats the mangel-wurzels. Or goat. (I'm assuming goats eat mangel wurzels as they eat everything else.)
