Yes, the big peachy things are called rutabagas I think. It's just they are also called turnips sometimes, in scotland maybe? Anyway, no they don't taste the same at all.. They are hard work to chop and take ages to cook, in my experience. I was a student in Ireland, and they were a cheap staple..mashed with lots of pepper and butter. I like the taste. I shall investigate the carb count. I am interested in the purple turnip recipes.
