Turnips! I thought that they were for pigs and cows. Turnips are a cruciferous vegetable with multiple health benefits. They boast an impressive nutritional profile, and their bioactive compounds, such as glucosinolates, may support blood sugar control, protect against harmful bacteria, and provide anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects!
So there!
You have obviously never had the famous Scottish haggis with Neeps and tatties , a classic Scottish dish – the 'neeps' means swede or turnip and the 'tatties' refer to potatoes.
We grow and eat turnips every year.
Like it. You learn something new every day. not a term that I am familiar with ’ Cruciferous vegetables are vegetables of the family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae) with many genera, species, and cultivars being raised for food production such as cauliflower, cabbage, kale, garden cress, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard plant and similar green leaf vegetables. The family takes its alternative name (Cruciferae, New Latin for "cross-bearing") from the shape of their flowers, whose four petals resemble a cross.‘ Cruciferous. Rather a woody word, what? I don’t like swedes much either. I could have made an exception for Britt Ekland though. What happened to the Norwegian model? |

The brown windsor soup actually sounds rather good (although probably not beige enough for Mysty3 😉) - just right for this cold snap |

That link that I forwarded. I gives a lot away about the class of people that posted the op.
I am not sure about Queen, but, I think, for starters the victorias should have a capital latter
and there should be an apostrophe before the s.
one thing is for sure, she was the one responsible for the introduction of sexism to British law.
