Turnips were cultivated at least 5,000 years ago and may have been eaten as long as 5,000 years before that. Wild forms of the hot turnip and its relatives the mustards and radishes are found over west Asia and Europe, suggesting their domestication took place somewhere in that area. Turnips were as important to our European ancestors as potatoes were to our South American ancestors. Turnips remained a mainstay of the European table until potatoes supplanted them in the 18th century. The original Jack o'Lanterns were made in Ireland out of turnips. Only after Irish immigrants came to North America did they discover that the American squash, pumpkin, made a pretty cool Jack o'Lantern.
