“Rutabagas (Brassica napus) are a type of oblong root vegetable similar to turnips, although rutabagas are actually the result of a cross between turnips and cabbages. They have a slightly bitter taste and are usually yellow or purple in appearance.”

Ahhh I did not know that! So rutabagas are mongrel turnips.

Very interesting. I have seen turnip in the stores, I’ve even bought and tried some. I’ve never seen a rutabaga.
