Radishes

Ubbquittious

I fondly remember having these in the garden when I was just a wee snapper. If you took a bite out of one it would blow the head off ya

The shop bought ones are tasteless auld things. Bland as feck in comparison and probably forced out of the ground in some supermassive corporate growing complex.

Now I'm willing to bet if I went to the quay coop or some other hipster establishment and paid through the nose for some fairtrade organic hand-picked artisan ones they'd probably have a bit of flavour alright. But why do people keep buying these tasteless shop bought ones? Do they not realise they're contributing to the race to the bottom through their actions?

No it doesn't. It smells of methanethiol and dimethyl sulphide - like sulphur or rotten cabbage but not like asparagus.

Radishes are overrated.

You're probably not getting the "fairtrade organic hand-picked artisan" asparagus ;)

Radishes are peppery enough for me. OP, I don't know of any good radishes in Cork; I like Caroline's vegetables from Cornmarket Street, and some other stalls like Kilbrack (excellent parsley!) are very good... but radishes? I don't know. Try M&S maybe?

Oh, I recently heard about a French idea, of having grated radishes, mixed with room temperature butter, spread on warm baguette. Sounds delicious!

^^^^^^^^^^^

sounds like a recipe for flatulence😑

Choose seed according to your prefered flavor profile and grow your own, OP! They are one of the easiest veggies to grow and so flavourful when fresh.

nothing like a screeching power fart to start the day.
