I'm curious as to how many people got it right. =)

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I had no idea. I thought it was a turnip. Root vegetables are not so popular where I grew up.

They're so closely related and look similar enough, saying it was a turnip is a totally fair answer. =)

i was sad no one said "swede"

[llarian.livejournal.com]

I'd never even heard that one before. You learn something new every day.

Silly Brits.

I read a shitload of british fiction so I'd heard of it, but had no idea what it is. But now the idea of rural brits putting it in curry is pretty funny.

I would have called it a Swede, since I lived in britain with people who would eat crap like that, but never saw a rutabaga in the US.

But I was out eating lots of crab legs and trying to get on a helicopter (and failing)

I'm pretty sure the inch-cubed chunks of "turnip" in the freezer at the supermarket don't come from root vegetables that are only an inch in diameter, anyway.

I WIN!!

What do I get?

Have you ever seen "rutabaga" spelled correctly in a grocery store? Seriously, ever?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

I don't really see them in grocery stores anyway. Not because they aren't there, just you know. I don't care. At all.

It is napiform!
