    Radishes are great to just eat like they are or to put in a salad.

    Cut 'em in half, smear each half with butter, then sprinkle on a dash of salt. Quite tasty.

    I just sprinkle a little salt on them and eat them as is. Or slice them into salads.

    wash, cut root and leaves off. EAT.
    sometimes a little salt is nice; but i usually eat them so fast i don't have time to put salt on them.

    The big white ones? The Japanese are good at turning them into stuff. And raw I also usually sprinkle salt on them. Goes well with beer, as done in Bavaria.

    the round red ones - purty when cut into roses as salad garnish. But they don't last long in my house, finger food.

    Open mouth, insert radish.

    Enjoy!

    I love radishes. I don't even add salt anymore.

    Cutting top and bottom. My mom used to keep a lot of them in a jar full of water in the fridge. I think it eases the pepperiness a bit when they are strong.

    Yum! Fresh radish. I could cut them into those decorative rose patterns and garnish the whole roast oxen platter. They never last that long.

    Put them in your fridge, forget about them for a few weeks until they are limp and starting to stink, put them in your compost pile, use that compost to plant radishes next spring...the cycle continues.

    I like them raw or sliced in salads. Also I like to toast an onion bagel, slice radishes and avacodo and put a little vegetable cream cheese or chive cream cheese.

    yummyyyyyyyy... nom nom nom.....

    I just ate all of my radishes! They were so yummy. I wanted to put them with dip or with hummus... but I dont have a blender or any hummus right now so I ate them with some sour cream with parsley.

    I think that I'll be buying BUNCHES of them at a time! yyummmy


    ps.. .. that bagel sounds amazing!
