I am going to make some Branston Pickle, the recipes I have found all need a turnip, has anyone made this and what did they substitute for a turnip. I think the brown thing which I presume is some sort of radish would be too bitter and I wondered about using the white radish type with the pink middle.

Any root (or simply firm?) veg with a similar texture could be substituted, although steer clear of anything with a strong flavour - bear in mind that the spice mix and pickling process masks the flavours of the individual ingredients to a certain extent. They end up almost there for texture rather than flavour. I know parsnips are often substituted for turnip/swede but you'll have the same issue getting a hold of them locally I suspect.
I seem to remember there was a guy who used to grow and sell a lot of root veg somewhere up near Nif(?), is he still on the go?

Yep. His last batch of moonshine wasn't quite up to the mark. ;)

Guy not in Nif anymore so no more root veg from him...

How about trying a potato?

How about going and buying a jar in the Pork Shop?

What the Turks call "turp" which is a large reddish works as a substitute.....
