a swede is, according to wiki, a root vegetable and a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. "in canada swedes are used as filler in foods such as mincemeat and christmas cake." i think they are round, fist-sized, and have "bright purple bottoms, yellow tops and creamy white, dense flesh." my swede was not like that except for the description about the yellow top and creamy white, dense flesh. he was tall, some would say freakishly so.
bye swede.
