southerners swedes

It's like the old pancake / crumpet dilemma.

A turnip is a disastrous England manager and a swede is a mildly successful one.

thank you , ye set of swedes, doesnt sound as bad as you set of turnips
Report shergarburger • January 9, 2010 6:33 AM GMT
they are completely different vegetables. a swede has orange flesh and is usually sold bigger than a turnip which has white flesh and sometimes has a purple or green top.

Don't want to get involved in any silly north/south dispute, but why would anybody want to call a swede a turnip when it's not?

Two very different vegetables.

Wiki:

"The rutabaga, swede (from Swedish turnip), or yellow turnip (Brassica napobrassica, or Brassica napus var. napobrassica) is a root vegetable that originated as a cross between the cabbage and the turnip."
