In Northern Ireland we'd call them all turnips, you mostly seem to get the orange ones rather than the white ones though. They used to be used for Halloween lanterns when I was young as they didn't sell pumpkins in the shops then.

And then there's the problem posed by Swiss Chard, Chinese Leaves, Vietnamese Coriander, Brussels Sprouts, Spanish Onions, African Violets, Gum Arabic and...er...

Indeed, one could have gone on...

... Turkish Delight, Brazil Nuts, Scotch Pancakes, French Marigolds, Russian Tea... and, returning to veg, Mexican Jumping Beans...?
