In the essay Turkeys in the Kitchen, by Dave Barry, the inability of men to adequately cope with operating in a kitchen environment is discussed. Barry discusses stereotypes such as, rather obviously, men being culinarily incompetent and women being decidedly more so, men working on cars, men watching sports while the wifes work, men being distractible, and men being inferior child rearers.
The humor present is this essay is mostly at the expense of men. They are portrayed as klutzy kitchen ignoramuses not even able to identify a turnip. In all honesty, I’m not positive what a turnip is. I think that it is something like a radish, which I vaguely believe to be akin to a slightly smaller, maybe more tuber-like, red onion kind of vegetable.
