If Blackadder has taught me anything, it's that a turnip can (on occasion) look like a thingy, whereas a swede cannot. Beyond that, I do not know.

Let's turn to Wikipedia, shall we?

Wikipedia said:
The rutabaga or swede differs from the turnip (Brassica rapa) in that it is typically larger and yellow-orange rather than white.

No. They both *ming* in equal ammounts.

Wrong. Mashed swede with loads of pepper is gorgeous. Heathen.

I completely agree, although if we combined the two we would get the ultimate... unconcious swedes!

Also if you add some carrot it very nice as well, not a big fan of swede on its own.

You can't knock either, but turnips are the winner by a stretch.

Swede can only be used for bashed neeps, whereas turnips can be added to stews and curries, they can be caremalised and roasted, chipped or crisped.

A very versatile tuber.
