I have tried looking up swede in USDA but it isn't there. Knowing
Americans have different names for things I suspect that is the
problem.

I believe it's a rutabaga.

Isn't a laplander something that lands in your lap?

Sort of like a lap dancer or a lappet?

Rutabaga, although some do call them swedes.

Wrong. Swede is what my new blue shoes that you mustn't step
on are made of.

I call "swede" someone from Sweden, so the question is a little
horrifying to ME -- I think I'll pass on an invitation to eat at YOUR
house :-)

Really...? Seems so obvious. They even sound alike.

Um, when you drop them on a tile floor.

No, seriously...

Nope. It's what putting too much splenda in a cup of tea makes it taste
like.

The regular turnip is smaller and white. The Rutabaga, also known as
Swedish turnip, or Swede, is larger and has yellowy orange flesh.

I thought it was ambiguous. That a swede would normally be a
rutabas but it can also overlap with turnip as well.

Turnips have about half the carb count os rutabagas. They are
also smaller, whiter, milder flavored, and they cook faster.
Rutties take a lot longer to cook even if I cut both into cubes
the same size.

Alright, you kids are getting too wild now and I'll have to insist that
you stop.
