I have read this article and I now know it is not an exclusively US vegetable (which I thought before) but I still don't know whether it is what I call a swede or what I call a turnip - for me these are two quite different vegetables. In particular one is yellow and the other is white. The flavours are different too. Does the US word refer to both? 82.235.147.212 ( talk) 15:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
This is great but in Swedish: http://www.sprakochfolkminnen.se/sprak/dialekter/aktuellt-dialektord/dialektord/2017-11-01-rotabagge-rabba-och-stonja.html -- Espoo ( talk) 20:11, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
I came to wikipedia to find out what species the yellow turnips sold in belgium are, but I only get reidrected to rutabaga, this I believe is wrong, the yellow turnip does not look like a rutabaga, but I am not sure since I cannot find out more about it. It appears to be a variety of turnip. Though it may be a hybrid? It tastes halfway between a radish and a rutabaga in my opinion so that is why I came to find more info about it, but it is not mentioned anywhere on english wikipedia that I found. This redirect seems to add confusion, I'm not an experienced editor so I thought I would make do with a headsup on the talk page. https://harvesttotable.com/turnips_the_gold_ball/ https://www.delhaize.be/nl-be/shop/Groenten-en-fruit/Verse-groenten/Andere-groenten/Gele-rapen-Bos-Cat1/p/F1996020800313920000 SkyfishArt ( talk) 10:53, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
Move to swede. A rutabaga is not an actual name and is a pathetic joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:3FB0:300:BC36:37BA:1D93:59CB ( talk) 10:40, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Even though it wasn't "printed" Pliny discusses rutabagas in Book XVIII C. 34. Probably a significant addition to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Droopyfeathers ( talk • contribs) 20:02, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
As a teenager in the late 60s I worked on a farm here in Cheshire, UK, paid 10p (2 shillings) per hour to "snag" mangles and turnips, and had we grown swedes it would have been the same term. So the term "snaggers" isn't so archaic! Another Geoff ( talk) 17:59, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello @ Barry Wom: This is not the article for soups or Finnish soups. This is the swede/rutabaga article. Invasive Spices ( talk) 10 September 2022 (UTC)
neep is not the only Scottish word for turnip, as in Scots Gaelic snèap is used 142.181.249.247 ( talk) 22:59, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
Is it really necessary to list what its name is in various languages? The whole final paragraph feels unnecessary. 2A00:801:7B0:A738:1573:F14E:48E4:2CFE ( talk) 11:58, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
