I love parsnips, turnips and rutabaga. My grocer carries them but I often wonder just how much of them they sell. I'm not a vegetarian but I think I could probably live on veggies with no problem. I rarely eat beef or pork and eat chicken maybe once every week or two. I'm just not a big meat-eater. When I see them advertise a meatlover's pizza on TV, I gag.

Can you tell me what the diff is between a turnip and a rutabaga other than the size and the outside color? They taste the same to me.
