What do Swedes call a swede?

[Cyberus]

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

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

* 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.).

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 :-(
