Yes, it was turnips (known as swedes in England and rutabaga in the US) when I was young too. We also did guising, i.e. the dressing up and going around houses, which turned into trick or treating when it was exported to the US. The US-style trick or treating was starting to be re-imported when I was young, but (certainly where I was) it wasn't looked upon very favourably because it was usually practised by the rougher sorts who used it as an excuse to throw eggs at peoples homes (the traditional guising hadn't had the "trick" element). |
