When the swede was introduced to Britain in the Agricultural Revolution it was called the Swedish Turnip,hence swede. |

The Mangol was grown for cattle food,it resembles a giant radish,sometimes 10 lbs in weight.It was grown in ordered rows and they were howed to keep them free of weeds,the large leaves were removed by flicking the mangol by hand never by cutting.Here in Somerset we made mangol chutney,wine and children hollowed them out for halloween |

When I was in my teens(an awful long time ago!)I went on a working holiday,earning 15/- a day in Witney,near Oxford,hoeing around the mangel wurzels,which I believe were to feed the animals.Never heard of them before that,but that was in the 50's.It was very hard work,and long hours.Wonder if they still do that,or these days probably have machines. |
