Swede is one of these
Apparently rutabaga in the US, neep in Scotland
Before I looked it up (a farmer’s shop find) I would have said turnip, but that’s a bit of an umbrella term

Rutabaga I’ve heard of. As for Swedes, haven’t seen Magnus around in a while, and I think it would be rude to turn him into a soup.

In these parts that is a turnip, not a rutabaga. Rutabagas are yellow/orange/brownish. They are considered a crossbreed of turnip and cabbage. Turnips here are also generally harvested when small, while rutabagas are left to mature. I always use a turnip when making chicken stock.

Pancit.

What's pancit?

[Henry Krinkle]

It's a Filipino pork, noodle and cabbage dish. Lots of garlic and scallion. I made this one less than authentic by adding fresh ginger, some of my house made green cayenne sauce and szechaun pepper. I reconstituted the noodles in a broth made from diluted beef stock and bonito flakes. Then I came back around to traditional ways with a runny yolk fried egg and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

The missus and I are not big fish fans, but we do like a harissa chicken with chickpeas and red onion dish. It is not as colorful as your dish, but it is darn tasty!
