Everyone is Baldrick now - environment secretary suggests we eat turnips

Therese Toffee can suck my turnip.

Jesus wept, I'm going to be sick.

They missed a trick.

Rather than referring to a vegetable that was used to hurl at people in disgust and as a reference to people who are idiots, why not say cabbage?

They could have spun it as helping with the fuel crisis as everybody could get fed and fart themselves warm.

What's wrong with turnips?

What's wrong with turnips?

Well they arent tomatoes or lettuce for a start.

What's wrong with turnips?

They taste nothing like steak!

Neep is Swedish turnip. Yellower flesh and larger but the same vegetable.

Same family, different vegetable. Cauliflower and broccoli for example are the same family but definitely different vegetable.

Love a bit of snadger. Bit of black pepper. Beautiful.

Cauliflower is proper rank

Don't like turnip (although you've never had it...) don't like cauliflower, you sound suspiciously foreign to me.
Probably one of the passwords in the war:
'Do you like turnip?'
'Gott no!'

Bang

Looks like we'll be seeing toffee turnips at fairs this year.

Returns are so poor, due to increased costs not being matched by supermarkets, apple farmers are letting fruit rot and digging up orchards.

 

[Tony Edwards]

Arent turnips what we feed livestock?

 

[Quartz]

like you've never had before.

and will never have again.

There’s a gammon joke here isn’t there?

 

[Iron Man]

I have a cunning plan. I haven’t scrolled through the six pages so probably not the first to make that reference lol

I was just trying to remember the last time I ate turnip and it struck me it was for my birthday a couple of years ago at the two Michelin star Dinner by Heston at the Mandarin Oriental.

One of the courses was Duck & Turnip - Buttered black turnip, creamed turnip with truffle and duck breast with a red wine jus.

Absolutely stunning, maybe that's what Coffey was meaning?

I don't think I've ever knowingly eaten turnip its just not something that features on the diet in these parts. Do love a roast parsnip though delicious and swede isn't bad either

"What we have here folks, are a few vegetable snobs. "

Finally, some shortages of proper British food and not this foreign nonsense.
