	Turnip and Its Hybrid Offspring
		Turnip (Brassica rapa) is of ancient culture, many distinct kinds having been known to the Romans at the beginning of the Christian Era.
		The leaves of the turnip are usually rich in the minerals and vitamins that are essential to health, but the roots have a relatively low food value.
		In England and Canada it is commonly called "Swede," or "Swede turnip." The French called it navet de Suede (Swede turnip), chou de Suede (Swede cabbage), and chou navet jaune (yellow cabbage turnip).

	Home Garden Turnips and Rutabagas
		Turnip leaves are usually light green, thin and hairy, while the rutabagas are bluish- green, thick and smooth.
		The roots of turnips generally have little or no neck and a distinct taproot, while rutabaga roots are often more elongated and have a thick, leafy neck and roots originating from the underside of the edible root as well as from the taproot.
		Turnip leaves can be harvested as single leaves, picked one at a time, or by several cuttings of the tops, taking care to avoid growing points or by cutting all tops at one time.

		The Scottish actually ate turnips willingly with their haggis (which they also ate willingly), but they referred to them by the rather pugnacious name "bashed neeps." (Turnips were originally called "neeps," from the Latin word for turnip, napus, which also gave rise to the French word navet.
		A member of the cabbage family, turnips are similar in appearance to such root vegetables as rutabagas and swedes (originally Swedish turnips).
		Turnips have been around a long time: they were enjoyed by Greek epicures (who favored those from Thebes) and by Roman gourmets (their turnips had to be from Amitermes).

	Turnips - LocalHarvest
		Turnips are root brassicas, which thrive in cold, damp climates.
		It was determined early in the 20th century that both the turnip leaves and the root itself were an excellent livestock food, particularly for young ruminants, but farmers turned to other fodder alternatives because too much manual labor was required to produce them.
		Turnips are good combined with celery and carrots, in ragouts, in the broth where the corned beef is boiled, in mirepoix for braised meats; mashed with plenty of butter and mixed with mushroom duxelles, or julienne cut and stir fried with broccoli and Chinese greens.

	About Turnips & Rutabagas
		Turnip roots can be white or yellow, and, though turnips are classified according to the shape of their roots-flat, round or cylindrical-shape doesn't make a great deal of difference in their taste.
		Turnips and rutabagas are fairly tough crops that can be grown in almost any type of soil, but they thrive best in loose, organically rich, stone-free, water-retentive but well-drained earth that's been worked deeply.
		Turnips are not as long-lasting as rutabagas, but in mild-winter areas, they can be mulched and left in the garden for an extended harvest.

		I had the turnips peeled and chopped into half-inch dice, mixed up the boullion to a strength I liked, then dumped in the turnips and cooked until tender but not mushy, "al dente" you might say.
		Actually, I've gotten the best results from baking my turnips (esp. at the edge of the fire or on a grill at camping events-- otherwise you have to use the oven at 500 degrees F) until they are soft and the skins somewhat burnt.
