Its all incredibly confusing, we only ever eat the bigger yellow one anyway, and its a turnip (despite often being labelled a swede in the supermarket). As if its not confusing enough that we all pronounce stuff differently, we've got to have different names in some cases too despite speaking the same language... |
Sorry, now I'm confusing myself. What I meant to say is that the swede is the yellow turnip and the turnip is the white turnip. However, in Scotland, the names are reversed, and the yellow one is called a turnip (or was traditionally, at least).
