Neil, I don't believe I've ever seen an actual turnip. What do they taste like?

To the Irish, many blessings on your patronal feast!
And one more thing to celebrate about it: 1830 hours will be the 2nd anniversary of my last cigarette.
Congratulations! That is no small accomplishment.

Thank God for the Julian Calendar; I'll be quite happy to celebrate Saint Patrick on 17/30 March - well, no; I shall move it to Bright Week.
We celebrated last night so I guess this is another example of the difference with the "Revised Julian Calendar"...

Neil, I don't believe I've ever seen an actual turnip. What do they taste like?
Turnips resemble rutabagas, but (normally) much smaller and much milder. They really don't have much flavor at all, which is why they are ususally served with generous amounts of butter. Rutabagas can be whipped: "Scottish "neeps" are rutabagas (B. n. napobrassica). The name comes from the Swedish "rotabagge", which is why this vegetable is also called a "Swede" or "Swedish turnip" in England. Absolutely do not use American turnips as a substitute, as the taste simply will not work as well. To prepare the neeps, peel a fresh rutabaga and cut into 1" cubes. Boil, drain, and whip them into a frenzy with some salt, pepper, and ,of course, butter"--I've tried them that way and found them quite delicious.

For many centuries, the Irish have a "customary" exemption from Great Lent on the feast of Saint Patrick. Many churches are overwhelmed with weddings on this day.
