Yes nepe which is close to what Barbel would call them too!
Haggis with neaps and tatties ( in English that's a concoction of stuff in a sheep's bits with turnip and potato)
Thanks. The translation is correct. I didn't know the Scottish word, but there are many Scottish worlds with Norwegian roots (bairn, Kirk etc.) . We also jokingly call a head "nepe". I find it really funny that a turnip is called "a Swede" )

) interestingly, in some parts of the UK we call the head a Swede! but I'm sure after the root vegetable not the country.
If it helps ( which it probably doesn't) over here turnips and Swedes are actually different, a Swede is bigger. Yellow and sweeter, a turnip is basically a big radish. fascinating stuff eh?
Further more we have a kids programme called abney and teal, in this programme is a character called neap who looks like this
Tonight I'll have turkey. I'll have to make it clear that I'm not good at cooking, so I mainly work in consumption of, and not the production of , good meals.
In Norwegian a turkey is called a "kalkun". The word is derived from the town Calcutta, because it was belived the bird came from India. Thank God there's no such misunderstanding in English

Don't think my body can handle anymore of this. Massive Christmas feast, followed by my birthday dinner with the family, and then I went to a house warming party for my Uncle yesterday and that was another massive meal.
I think I'm going to have to eat at home today and just not eat anything at the New Years party I'm going to. My body can't handle this lol
I'm in Bergen visiting my younger sister and her family. Tonight I followed my nephew and niece went "julebukk" ("Christmas ram").
It's an old tradition that's remisent of Halloween and trick or treat. Kids play dress-up, visit the neighbours and sing Christmas songs. In return they are given sweets. My niece and nephew went as a pirate and Batman.

You ate a Swede?
Is that legalized where you live?
It's another word for a turnip. I think you call it a Nepe. I don't speak Norwegian, so i googled it. Hope it's correct.
