Swedish turnip or simply turnip as the Scots and most cornish call it is the only accepted choice.
Pretty sure Scots call 'em "neeps"...
I wrote "pretty sure" in order that someone could clarify, as I am quite happy to be corrected. Thank you for correcting me so pleasantly and for the
to roundly finish off such an important point. I am staggered, as I did not know that you had taken such a tremendous amount of time and effort - by speaking to every Scot - in order to establish whether everyone did or did not say "neeps". That is truly a great effort and my apologies for impinging on your chosen subject. Well, your day did finally come, and I stand corrected..., sort of. 
Not sure what your getting your kickers in a twist over it was perfectly polite!
The snigger was my final line about the places I mention, but I guess only a local would get that. Apols.

A big shout to Ann’s, especially direct from Helston. 
Good to know. We've a week in a cottage just outside of Helston next week. Probably walk down into Porthleven and pick up some from Philps like last time but good to have some alternatives. And by alternatives I don't mean instead of...Edit. Also just noticed there's an Ann's in Porthleven. I feel a 'pasty off' coming on

Assuming that Philps' pasties are as good as they were when I first tried them back in 2002, as of last week :-
Rowe's : As luck would have it, there was a dedicated Rowe's bakery just outside St. Agnes where we were staying. The only "thing" for me was the filling was a little too salty and a little lacking in pepper. Otherwise, the pastry was good, and had the right balance of veg and steak.
Ann's : I'm sure it was because it was fearsome busy (even on a Tuesday afternoon), but the pastry had a soggy bottom, the veg was largely raw, and the steak was chewy.
For us, however, the bar has been set by :-

The pastry wasn't flaky nor shortcrust, but melt-in-the-mouth good and a great flavour. Packed with a perfectly seasoned filling that lacked nothing, and £4.20 a pop.

St Agnes Bakery is absolutely magnificent. I can never decide between traditional and steak and Stilton so always end up getting one of each... Assuming that Philps' pasties are as good as they were when I first tried them back in 2002, as of last week :-

Are they shortcrust pastry as their website isn't very clear?

Yeh saw the pics none showing shortcrust - looks like rough puff to me. Not my preference so wont be trying. Many offer a choice.

Awesome, more left for me.
It's great pastry.
Never actually saw/noticed two different types of pastry in one shop before!
