“Pyp had stabbed a turnip with his knife. "The night is dark and full of turnips," he announced in a solemn voice. "Let us all pray for venison, my children, with some onions and a bit of tasty gravy.”

“He dug and ploughed over his piece of land, and then sowed some turnip seed. Soon the seed began to show itself above ground, and there grew on turnip immensely large and thick, which seemed as if it would never have done growing, but was a princess among turnips; and as there had never before been seen such a turnip, so also there has never been such another since.”

“The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not sure about the turnip.”

“Get off me you dirty turnip!" "Dirty turnip? well, pardon me Signor Cabbage-Head!”

“A root vegetable went missing. Maybe it will turnip in my next bad pun.”
