Yeah sure, I'm sure I could have googled for the answer, but I wanted the answer from the horse's mouth, so to speak.
This is a swede

"...This is a swede..."

What's that he is holding in his hand?

edit: The image-o-matic had this (http://www.amiga.org/gallery/498.jpg) at the same time as I wrote the reply....scary colour coordination coincidence

How dare he not be blond!

Even in English there is controversy about what a swede is. In the north we call them turnips, and in the south they're swedes. Southerners think turnips are cattle feed.

Here's a recipe for Haggis Burger with Swede* and Potato Chips (http://www.dubyadubyadubyadotcom.com/2004/03/24/haggis-burger-with-swede-and-potato-chips/)
* A Swede: rutabaga, turnip cabbage, swede, Swedish turnip, rutabaga plant, Brassica napus napobrassica - (a cruciferous plant with a thick bulbous edible yellow root). THIS IS NOT A SMALL SEXUALLY ENLIGHTENED SCANDINAVIAN! (although if you do substitute a real life Swede instead of a `Neep remove the toe nails, pubic hair and bowels before cooking. Teeth can be removed with a hammer however gum meat tends not to be that tasty the trauma of removing teeth can sour them.).
:-D

Eeeeeewwwwwww

Erm... I'm from the North, and I call a turnip a turnip, and a swede a swede.
Two completely different root vegetables mate.

Nope, I don't like turnip... but I've had my fair share of swede.
I think they are different plants.
So, what is a Swede in sweedish... but then what is a turkey called in Turkey... or grease in Greece... or damn... forgotten now :-(

@Dan
So does -rot mean "root" (as pertaining to vegetables) then?
-
Where's the pajrot? ;-)

@mdma
Paj comes from the beefs, which are made by cows, by means unknown. For full info, see here (http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/show.htm) and here. (http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/cows.htm)

Quite, they aren't very good for painting with at all. Carrot and beetroot are much better.

I dunno, you could do an invisible painting with the tatty, then spray the canvas with a starch indicator to make it show up.
But as for swedes/parsnips/turnips etc, I can't stand them,as soon as I taste it my body has one of those 'automatic stomach evacuation reflexes' that normally only occur when alcohol is involved. :-o

I agree with you on the parsnips front. They are revolting.
Don't mind swede with carrot though.

And while we're on the subject of Swedes, it looks like they've overtaken us Brits as the worlds #1 nation of whingers,article at The Register. (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/24/complaining_poll/)
Dammit, that's just not cricket, I'm gonna have to start writing letters of disgust to The Times.

I'd write a letter to the relevant authorities, outlining your unhappiness at the situation.

It's soooooo true! Especially when it comes to technical support. Danes, Norwegians, and Americans are just as bad, though.

Of gewoon Neerlands: "Knolraap" (turnip) of "Koolraap" (Swede), dan weten wij allen waar het over gaat, is het niet?
