So did you just carve a face out of the front of it, or did you actually dig out the insides, like you scrape the guts out of a pumpkin? The only experience with turnips I have is on the thanksgiving table, mashed with butter and pepper. :)
Maybe I'm reading this 20 year old data (!) wrong, but does it not say that the UK consumes 2.5 kg/person, while the USA consumes 4.5 kg/person?
Edit: Ah Bodi, you beat me.
