Swedish turnip also known as rutabaga.
There! You cannot go wrong now! 
Where else but Gransnet could you get such a diversity of rivetingly interesting information on swedes and turnips? 
First, define your pikelet, pet and then we'll know what we're talking about . In Lancs where I grew up pikelet and crumpet seemed to be interchangeable. And a muffin was different – no holes – but it definitely wasn't what are called muffins at coffee stops nowadays.
When I were a lass, a pikelet was like a flat crumpet, holey on top and a muffin was a puffy bread cake, like a balm cake but flatter! we're never all going to agree on this one!
Pikelet is flat and heavy with holes to soak up the butter. They have to be toasted.
Now i wonder if I meant crumpet instead of muffin as the alternative. Yes I did. Brain not properly up and running yet
North East is straight forward crumpet and muffin no confusion, but we do have stottie cake
On Fire! 
I often mash cooked Swede (orange flesh) with cooked carrots - delicious with lots of black pepper.
What about mangel wurzels .....
