Swede's American name is apparently rutabaga. In this case I adopted the British term because I didn't have anything to do with it until I got here.
The Produce Fairy is ace! There's been an increasing trend in veg boxes here in recent years; they're locally sourced and tend to be organic and so on, but they cost no more than I'd spend buying these things from the cheap supermarkets around here. Plus it subjects me to things I wouldn't usually buy, especially in the fruit (while I like the taste of a lot of fruits, I have a hard time with the texture of a lot of it... so I bought a juicer and make a lot of smoothies now!).
