Radishes----- I would eat them by the dozens---- big ol' honking ones that were hot (the way I like them). Now, the radishes I buy in the markets have had the heat bred out of them! They're so insipid I barely know I'm eating a radish.
It give the slaw a nice unexpected kick.
I used to put them in there until I watched Rachel ray and she said not to. I have not since then.
White or red radish? I rarely see the white ones anymore. Seems the white ones were hotter?
I'm not 'white bread'.
Me neither. Imagine my shock when I bought chillies here in the 'burbs. They had no heat! The jalapenos had no heat, the long ones had no heat, and the Scotch bonnets were very mild.They were mostly red but some were the 'icicle' type white ones but the larger ones were usually hotter, of both types.
I think the hotness has been taken out of radishes now, much to my chagrin, in keeping with the general tendency to 'white bread' a lot of food to match the taste of more people.

They are dead easy to grow at home - even I can't kill them. "French Breakfast" are a good variety to try and they can be grown in pots if you don't have garden space.That's what I did also, salt shaker in hand. Back then it was safe to use the water from the hose---- at least none of us got sick or died from it.

Good white bread is worth eating. Try some from what is now called an "artisan" baker.They were mostly red but some were the 'icicle' type white ones but the larger ones were usually hotter, of both types.

Does anyone else notice that cherry tomatoes don't go bad as fast as Roma's or other types? (Kept out of fridge, of course).
That consistently happens for me.
Yes, same with grape tomatoes. They do last longer.
