Have you tried Jicama? Becareful, it's a tasty rock. You can eat it raw in slices or shredded in salad. I fried some once but they take forEVER to brown and it's actually better raw.

(all of this prior to cooking). give it a try, i'm a fish fanatic, i eat a kilo per week, so about 5 meals. it's my way of fighting carbs. i really, really must cook something absolutely wonderful, flavorful, and filling in order to avoid carbs, cause i settle for sandwiches and pasta way too easily. try rubbing the fish fillet with a slice of garlic, it really gets rid of the fishy taste. also rubbing it with lemon juice works too.

I discovered them too after I began eating healthier and went vegetarian and decided to try some of the odder vegetables my parents never fed me as a kid. I'm lazy though, and nuke them for a couple minutes and slather them with the zero-calorie spray butter. A tasty dinner. Mmm parnips.

Yikes - I can't imagine 'em steamed but I do occasionally enjoy them in a salad. I LOVE seafood - mmm mmm mmm! The sea's vittles are tasty! I especially love shrimp. They can be prepared so many ways and they cook so quickly. Glad everybody straightened you out about the radii (pl?).

The slices make a zippy, healthy "chip" to scoop up hummus! Slice the radishes very thin and soak the slices in ice water, then dry. The slices make a zippy, healthy “chip” to scoop up hummus!

They are too hot for me to eat by themselves. I do admire your produce adventures. It took me a long time to stop thinking everything but carrots and celery were "yuckky" like a little kid.
