    The commonest kynd o neep sellt as a vegetable in Europe an North Americae is maistlins white-skint apairt frae the tap 1–6 centimetres that growes abuin the grund an is purpie, reid, or greenish whauriver sunlicht has fawen. This pairt abuin the grund growes frae stem tissue, but is jyned wi the ruit. The hale inner meat is white an the hale ruit is rochly baw-shaped aboot 5–20 centimetres ower, an wants side ruits. The tapruit (the raiglar ruit ablo the swallt hain ruit) is thin an 10 centimetres or mair lang; it is takken aff afore the neep is sellt. The leafs growes richt frae the shouder o the ruit, wi little or nae croun or hause (like that fund in swades). Neep leafs is chawed times, an leuks like mustart greens; kynds growen juist for the greens leuks like mustart greens mair nor them growen for the ruits, wi smaw or nae hain ruits. Kynds o B. rapa that haes been developit juist for uiss as leaf vegetables is cried Chinese cab!!!!!. Baith the leafs an ruit haes a spicy taste seemlar tae raw kail or reeforts that turns maumie efter ceukin.
    Neeps wyes sae muckle as 1 kilogram or thereaboots, tho they can be hairstit whan smawer. Size is in pairt adae wi the kynd an in pairt adae wi the lenth o time that the neep haes growen. Maist richt wee neeps is specialty kynds. The ae time they can be gotten is whan juist hairstit an they dinna keep weel. Maist wee neeps can be eaten hale, leafs an aw. Wee neeps come in yellae-, orange-, an reid-fleshed kynds as weel as white-fleshed. Their taste is maumie, sae they can be eaten raw in salads like reeforts.
    Neeps is the swallt stock o the plant an nae the swallt ruit, as mony fowk thinks.

    Be one of the first to see new blockbuster The Railway Man

    The Mail on Sunday is offering every reader the chance to be among the first to see critically acclaimed, The Railway Man, starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman


    Based on his best-selling memoir, The Railway Man tells the extraordinary and epic true story of Eric Lomax, a British Army officer who is tormented as a prisoner of war at a Japanese labour camp during World War II. Decades later, Lomax discovers that the Japanese interpreter he holds responsible for much of his treatment is still alive and sets out to confront him, and his haunting past. Directed by Jonathan Teplitzky, and starring Academy Award-winner Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine, and Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman, the film is a powerful tale of survival, love and redemption
