About This Quote
A turnip is a root vegetable, like an onion or a zucchini. It is round and brown or yellow, with a characteristic rind. The vegetable came from Europe where the name "turnip" was used to describe a variety of turnips. In England, turnips were so thickly grown in the past that they were a staple in the diet of the poor. People in England called them "turneps." In America they are known as "cabbage," from where our expression "dirty cabbage" comes from.
