The Interlattice further informs us that other uses for Mangelwurzels include hollowing them out to make space for a candle as part of harvest festivities; and hurling them, in the West County equivalent of bowls or boules. If one were to combine that with the tradition of trebuchet-themed pumpkin-chuckin', I suppose the appropriate siege machinery would be a Mangonel-Wurzel.
It must be time for some Scrumpy-&-Western music!

I thought it was traditional to make a lantern out of a Doc Martin boot on Punkie Night.
Maybe that's why I got no candles...
Mangel Wurzels and Sugar Beet for wort?

I'd be tempted to swap the hops out for Brussels Sprouts.
