Hi Linnea, Long time no see. I have a question do you think the Swedish may have originated the potato/turnip mixture of the texture of mashed potatoes then? My mother always used to make this concoction. I have never even tried, although it was not one I detested like scrapple. I always promise myself it would never go down my throat again once I grew up. That is one promise I have managed to keep. lol As I child I always found the times we had it was the ideal time to go to the bathroom and down it all down the toilet. lol Funny memories of being a child. Have a great day!!! Linda
