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

Quote
* 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

while we're on the subject of Swedes, it looks like they've overtaken us Brits as the worlds #1 nation of whingers


oops, I started a new thread before I read your post. This just won't do, I should have been personally informed by Amiga.org staff that you were going to post that - this wouldn't have happened in my day, ....
