I dunno, I think rutabagas are funnier that turnips. And bok choy is a gut buster, no matter how you slice it. ;D - Kyoti, 2007-07-05: 13:21:00

Purple artichokes can be, though. - mplsbohemian, 2007-07-05: 19:45:00

However, it is better to be a turnip then a squash... just saying! - MisUndrstd, 2007-07-05: 20:10:00
