Apparently, people in France eat radishes for breakfast. Those French, so clever! I was first introduced to French breakfast radishes at a restaurant in Portland a few years ago. They were served with a thick slab of butter and a dish of coarse salt for dipping, and that’s how I eat them today. French breakfast radishes don’t have the bite of regular radishes, and they are long and thinnish as opposed to fat little globes. That makes them perfect for slathering with delicious butter (I like plain old Darigold or Cloverleaf from Buhl) and snacking. They are available right now at the Boise Co-Op for about $1.79/bunch.
By the way, this isn’t a picture of my radishes. Radishes don’t last too long in the Hahn Household. Photo courtesy of blue-kitchen.com.- Julie Hahn
