I liked the story 'The Enormous Turnip' when I was little.

I haven't tried turnips yet.


I loved that story. From the Ladybird 'Well Loved Tales' range - it was always a treat getting one of those. Do you remember 'The Magic Porridge Pot'?

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Smurfy I use turnip in vegetable stew. I can tell you my recipe if you want.


One of my favourite books was the enormous turnip too, choc chick!

I also loved the Little Red Hen, she was very 'girl power' for her time.

I had a couple of Topsy And Tim books I used to read to my boys when they were little. Used to love doing the voices...  very posh upper class kids, very Enid Blyton!

 Blings I went to Morrisons today and while looking at the veg I spotted some turnips and thought of Smurfy.

I seem to remember lots of mentions of Baldrick's turnip obsession.
