Absolutely. I forgot beets. Loathe and despise them too, whether they're raw, cooked, or pickled. It's like eating a mouthful of dirt. Blech.and beets.

Swedes in NZ are rutabegas in the northern hemisphere - sometimes also called Swedish turnips. They're larger than turnips and have a purple-mauve irregular "stripe" that sometimes rings them.Are turnips what we call swede? I like them mashed/or puréed with a little butter, salt and pepper. I also like beetroot...
I don't know what rutabaga is.. so maybe this will be my one saving grace?

Oh no... so, I like rutabeagas? Screwed then....Swedes in NZ are rutabegas in the northern hemisphere - sometimes also called Swedish turnips. They're larger than turnips and have a purple-mauve irregular "stripe" that sometimes rings them.
Turnips are unto themselves and are called the same thing everywhere. There are white-fleshed and yellow-fleshed turnips.
Beetroot is the same thing as beets.
I am partial to celery root, Jerusalem artichokes (also known as sunchokes, the tuber of the sunflower), and parsnips. Those are fab-boo.
No, not screwed! More for you! Yay!Oh no... so, I like rutabeagas? Screwed then....

Dana Jean and I will be over in a corner, scarfing the artichokes, tomatoes, and avocados.

Sure… as lettuce with delusions of grandeur ;D (Just kidding--I like them, too )I think DJ and I are the only two people in the U.S. who don't like beets.
But I love arugula, frissonée, and endive. Do they count?

Yay - there he is
