I always feel silly saying the word "rutabaga."
Many years ago my Grandma cooked them often; she mashed and ate them with a prodigious amount of hot pepper vinegar sprinkled on. She pronounced them "ROOtabeggers." I thought they smelled just awful cooking and would never try them.
I did notice the odor of them cooking. It was distinct, but not unpleasant to me. Much like cabbage.
I'll have to try the hot pepper vinegar. I have some Trinidad Scorpion Vinegar I'll try on them.
