Here's some pictures:

Turnip: Small, young turnips have a delicate, slightly sweet taste. As they age, however, their taste becomes stronger and their texture coarser, sometimes almost woody.

Rutabaga: Rutabagas or Swedish turnips ("Swedes") tend to be somewhat larger, sweeter and less strongly flavored than turnips. mashed rutabagas. Boil them with a bit of sugar and one white potato that you add to the mash to make it less bitter.

Celeric: Has a celery-like flavor.

Kohlrabi: Tastes like radishes when raw and broccoli when cooked.

Parsnips: They look like ivory-colored carrots, but parsnips have a mild celery-like fragrance and a sweet, nutty flavor

Burdock root is very crisp and has a sweet, mild, and pungent flavor with a little muddy harshness that can be reduced by soaking julienne/shredded roots in water for five to ten minutes.

Ginseng: Grows in woodsy environments so you most likely wouldn't find Ginseng growing in an open field. The wild organic root is knarled, ringed with wrinkles, small, light weight and has a bitter woodsy taste. The cultivated root is larger, heavier, smoother, tastes sweeter and smells different.

Jerusalem artichoke, Sunchoke (Helianthus tuberosus): Uncooked, these knobby nuggets have white flesh with a wonderfully crisp texture similar to that of water chestnuts or jicama. When cooked, it can taste like an artichoke heart.

From your description...maybe you tasted a Burdock, Rutabaga or Jerusalem artichoke root?

Good Luck! Hope this is helpful.

Answer 2

She's probably telling the truth. Some medicine (anti biotics especially) allow overgrowths of normally healthy bacteria, which can cause yeast infections and other non- STD related symptons. Put simply her PH is off right now and things are out of balance. Unless it has a pungent odor, don't worry about it. If it persists she should try a monistat product or another product called RePHresh (restores healthy PH). Yogurt helps too (eaten of course).
