I believe it is turnips, though I do not carve either one of them. I would rather use food for its intended purpose.

It is just about time for pumpkin or turnip carving time. This is an interesting bit of trivia.

Good morning Praful. We used to carve pumpkins all the time, actually our kids did, it was fun to see them doing it and the results.
