Lunch
Cow is having some radishes for lunch. Trying, anyway.Not really sure why she bought them but since they were there they became part of the lunch bag.
They're nasty. About the only good thing you can say about them is they're crunchy. And brightly colored. Why does anyone eat these things?
Maybe the trick is to put so much dressing on them you don't taste them.
Moo!

See that's why I can't eat salads. I can't get past the vision that I am eating leaves with no taste. I have been told just put a lot of dressing on top...well if I gotta do that, then I would rather just eat a bottle of Ranch Dressing alone.....
That's a good idea (slurp!)
Just the dreesing! Yum!
Moo!
I've always wondered why they put those things on salad bars. Yuck.
Properly grown radishes are juicy and hot and peppery like aragula (Englishman knows American for rocket, shock horror). Supermarket ones tend to be very watery and a bit wizened (sigh).
These were definitely from the supermarket.
Moo-gag-moo!
I thought they were quite tasty.
But then, all I ate were the leaves.
Hippity-hop!
I don't like them either. bleck.
Slice them as thinly as possible, then toss them with cucumbers and feta, and put a lemon-dill-olive oil vinaigrette on top.
I hate radishes too, but mixed in with all this other stuff it just adds kind of a spicy crunch. It's good!
Those things are pretty bad fart perfume too.
When you can get them home grown fresh out of the garden they are so tasty! My father-in-law grows really yummy ones, but you can't let them get too big or they get bitter and yuckky.
Or, when there's a glut, making up a jar of Japanese water pickles. Yum.
Pickled radish seed pods are surprisingly good, too, very hot and sharp. Making my own turned out to be trickier than I'd hoped: first two times I'd let the seedpods go too far over and they'd got stringy.
Mr. Bananas beat me to my response.
I can't tell you the last time I ate radishes...
