A rutabaga.

[ ROO-tuh-bay-guh ] This cabbage-family root vegetable resembles a large (3 
to 5 inches in diameter) TURNIP and, in fact, is thought to be a cross 
between cabbage and TURNIP. The name comes from the Swedish rotabagge, 
which is why this vegetable is also called a Swede or Swedish TURNIP. 
Rutabagas have a thin, pale yellow skin and a slightly sweet, firm flesh of 
the same color. There is also a white variety but it is not generally 
commercially available. This root vegetable is available year-round with a 
peak season of July through April. Choose those that are smooth, firm and 
heavy for their size. Rutabagas can be refrigerated in a plastic bag for up 
to 2 weeks. They may be prepared in any way suitable for TURNIPs. 
Rutabagas, which are a CRUCIFEROUS vegetable, contain small amounts of 
vitamins A and C.

That's Vance all over.
