Swede is the English term for a yellow turnip, whilst white turnips are called Turnip! I believe the Scottish call them all turnip. But there are lots of local variations! Rutabaga refers to the yellow turnip or Swede.

Sits back and waits for the row........

Irish people call them all turnips, I think.

Except white turnips, which we call, um, "white turnips".

Or "Those watery feckin little white things..."

[climbingrosie]

they call coriander 'cilantro'

I don't care whether it is a turnip or a swede, I still can't stand them!

I love raw swede! Chomping on a great big wedge of it yummy.
