Peel it?
What a waste of nutrition, we were told to eat it mud and all, nothing stirs the memory more than shivering around the Christmas Turnip, though I do remember one year when I was really young, my mother somehow saved up and instead of turnip we had a swede, I was that year even allowed a full leaf to myself, though my older brothers and sister have since told me that my Dad had got up early and sucked all the sap out of the leaf that I got.
