Should be mashed swede with haggis, really. The Scots refer to swedes as 'neeps' (turnips). I didn't know that the Cornish also called them turnips. Confusion all round.englishangel wrote:What does a turnip look like then?
The turnips in my larder are pretty things, white with a sort of pinky/mauve top. We are going to have them mashed tonight with our haggis. (Don't ask me why.)
