G'day, I don't know if this will help in India, but in Australia and Britain, rutabagas are called swedes. Jo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 We call them swedes, I make Swedish cabbage salad and sometimes I toss grated rutatagas in the mix. Judy rutabagas have greens but I never see them attached. I wonder how those would cook up, first I better find out if they are poisonous.LOL Donna --- wwjd <jtwigg wrote: > I grew up eating them too.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I've occasionally seen the greens attached in produce stands. I think my mom has cooked them before, but they are hard to find, unless you grow them yourself. I will confirm that with my mom, who cooks almost any kind of green known to man and can make them taste outstanding. She is known for the great way she makes greens taste. What is your Swedish cabbage salad like? I'll have to try grating some and adding to to a coleslaw. My husband loves raw turnips(the purple and white kind), sliced up. That is the way I prefer those too.I bet they would be good added to coleslaw. Boy I hadn't even thought about this. You are inspiring me here to try something new. Yeah. You know I went to stay with a friend that had gall bladder surgery for a couple of days to help out and cooked for her family. Her kiddo's were young and the husband was clueless in the kitchen. I never knew that you don't give someone with abdominal surgery, gas producing veggies for a few days. I cooked cabbage and rutabaga for them, along with loads of other things. She loved the way I cooked it, so I thought I was doing her a favor, but boy oh boy was she is dire pain from the gas it produced in her abdominen. I will never forget that lesson that caused my friend so much pain......... You know her doctor hadn't even told her foods to avoid, but did when she called the office in such pain and they heard what she had eaten............ they did. Love that Rutabaga. Now I need to go and buy one............... Got my taste bud craving some.
