Web. 3 (mangel-wurzel, also mangold-wurzel: a large coarse yellow to reddish orange beet extensively grown as food for cattle)
Rupp, R. Blue corn & square tomatoes, 1987: p. 142 ("The 18th century also saw the introduction of the mangel-wurzel, like the sugar beet an offshoot of the early fodder beet. It was developed in Germany and Holland as a livestock feed and introduced to England in the 1770s, where an unfortunate mistranslation of the German mangold-wurzel (beet-root) as mangel-wurzel (scarcity root) fostered the belief that these roots would make dandy food for the poor in periods of famine.")
