Salting radishes
So by some stupidity on my part, I have quite a few watermelon radishes. I
kept ordering them in my CSA packages but when I got them. I thought they were turnips! They are actually the size of a turnip and that's what threw me. Only after I attempted to peel one and cut it up to make caramelized turnips did I see my mistake! They are very good and have some bite to them. Not too much bite. But I decided to try salting a slice because sf said that would take the bite out of them. Well it didn't. It also didn't make them taste salty like I thought it would. It just made them bitter and unpleasant. |

It just made them bitter and unpleasant. Don't worry you can cook a radish and it will come out fairly similar to a turnip. They turn sweet when cooked and the bite goes away. They are both similar brassicas after all. |

Salting radishes
I love Roundup Brush Killer. It is the only thing that kills the intermittent vestiges of the Virginia
Creeper my idiot neighbor planted on purpose, which absolutely destroyed my 30-year old Honeysuckle hedge. N. |

It tastes like poison and a constant low-level of poison will give of cancer. |
