So, I always thought that turnip was swede and swede was turnip - or did I?
When I was a kid we carved (what I thought were) turnips at halloween because we never had pumpkins  (yep deprived)- the bigger more orangey inside ones.
At Christmas I had to buy what I thought were swedes as they'd ran out of what I thought were turnips - the small white ones, which were labelled turnips.
Yesterday I bought what I thought was a turnip but it's labelled swede!
Are the supermarkets messing with me or what??!! |

Oh yes, that makes perfect sense!
What about the swede that looks like turnip though? |

I can't think what a turnip is. Swedes are purplish aren't they ? Almost impossible to cut so I buy mine already diced for my stews. I'm going to Google image them |

Turnips, Swede, Squashes (as in Butternut) and Pumpkins are all from the same family of vegetables.
For instance, I once made a pumpkin pie using Butternut Squash because I couldn't get hold of a pumpkin - whereas my Canadian sister-in-law cheats and buys her pie filling ready made in a tin, lol |

Aren't we meant to call Swedes Rutabugas now?
I think it depends whether you're a soft southerner, or a proper northerner, but swede is a shortening of Swedish Turnip, so some call them swedes, some turnips, or if you're a PROPER northerner, neeps!

The small white ones are turnips.
In the north and Scotland they are often referred to as neeps and are larger and yellow. It is these which can also be referred to as swedes. |

"Swedes are usually massive and take an axe to cut through! Turnips tend to be small and have a slightly pointy bottom to them or so I have always seen "
This is true! They are definitely NOT the same. The problem is people talk about carrots n turnip when it is actually carrots n swede! |

Think you'll find that Swede and Turnip are brassicas from the same family as cabbage whereas squashes are related to cucumber and melon |

Was it a turnip or a swede??  "
Just to confuse things even further - a swede is a Swedish variety of turnip. |

is there a "inserted by design" option?
Or would that be in the carrots and other green objects section?

Yep the diddy white ones are turnips. Incidentally, if you get a small swede, you don't have to chop the bugger to cook it. Seriously ! You don't make any cuts or anything in it . . you stick it on a microwaveable plate and do it in 5 min bursts till a knife goes into it easily. Then you slice off the top and scoop the middle out .. ready mashed ! Taddah ! |

Spaghetti squash isn't that hard to come by in America so I am told - it's a fan favourite in the Paleo cooking community as a replacement for noodles
I couldn't find any though when I wanted to do the latest fad diet and decided I'd just rather eat the noodles and stay a fattie lol |

Whoa! Time out here... Swedes and Turnips are root vegetables. Butternut squashes and Pumpkins are the fruiting bodies of plants which have grown from seed.
