[...] with an abundance of radishes, I set about skimming through my cooking library for recipes to make use of them, or at least ideas [...]

My guy is a radish hound as well, and although I’m much more sensitive to the “heat” than he is, I’m happy to eat them when he brings home a bunch from the market. Dipping them into a small pile of salt on the plate as an appetizer is our most common way of eating them as well, and also added to green salads, with a good strong red-wine vinegar/mustard vinaigrette. I honestly can’t think of anything else that we do with them, so I’ll be following this thread too!

I’m pretty sure my husband feels the same way, Catherine. I’ve barely managed to convince him, by occasionally serving sautéed radishes, that they actually qualify as a food. He still prefers to avoid them.

Of course, when I was growing up, the only thing we ever ate them in was green salad…

Sorry buddy, I got nuthin. I didn’t even know to put salt on them. Radishes barely register as food to me. Yet /every/ time I ask N* to pick up “justsomevegetables” from the grocery store, he comes home with radishes. Every. Time.

I do not know where he gets this from. I keep explaining that radishes belong firmly in the “vegetables-> garnish-> garnishes-do-not-a-veggie-tray-make” category. I will watch your entry to see if you can save me from my radish lovin’ husband.
