rutabaga? what is rutabaga?
apart from that, sounds fairly good. i’ll try it when i can find some rutabaga.
(i also have a new word!)
Rutabaga I believe is a substitute for potatoes. They’re pretty similar to each other.
Rutabaga are alot like big turnips; they’re sometimes called swedes or swedish turnips. The kind that grocery stores usually have are purple and yellow on the outside, and orangey on the inside when raw. Storebought ones also have a waxy coating on the outside. To me, rutabega tastes alot like cabbage. Really delicious!
