ampersand Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 No it wasn't. If I remember rightly from my days as a lad in Barnsley, Mischief night was the day before bonfire night - but that might just have been us We carved turnips (as we called them) - dad grew them & complained when we used them as lanterns, but mum used the bits we carved out for stew (or sunday dinner) - they were tough as old boots - or maybe we just had blunt spoons They looked good on the bonfire though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Mischief Night round our way (East Yorks) was the night before Bonfire night, I'm sure. Turnip lanterns always seemed like a great idea, we couldn't wait to do them, but soon got tired of digging with a blunt spoon. Mum or Dad always had to finish them off. They were tough! Would like to see it as a challenge on Masterchef. Another vote for turnips being of the big, orange variety. But if we call a swede a turnip, what's are the little, white ones called?
