"Going for the exotic vegetables, are you?" the woman ahead of me in the grocery line asked as I unloaded my shopping basket. "What is that? Cassava? Jicama?" she guessed.
I laughed politely. "No, it's rutabaga," I shrugged, "actually pretty homespun."
"Well, I never eat rutabaga," she assured me. "Sweet potatoes? Yes. Carrots? Sure, lots of them."
"Better watch out," I warned her. "Rutabaga could be next... Those are definitely gateway vegetables!"
