in the Uk what we call swedes and turnips are not the same vegetable: swedes are kind of pale orange in colour, turnips are white and they don't taste the same at all.

whew!! I thought I was losing it.  I could have sworn I'd at least seen a turnip before I come to the UK but you never can tell.   :P

Okay, I'd like to see someone hollow out a swede for a jack 0'lantern as wikipedia says they do in Scotland. It's hard enough to chop them up! :o

i did it once, and it nearly killed me!
nowadays, though, they sell them already hollowed out (presumably by machine!) in the supermarket.  :)

My poor old grandad did one for me to take to a Halloween party about 30 years ago. It took him all day.
