Last Thursday I told you about the comparative test we were supposed to do with the 3 different csa radishes we found in our veggie bag. Well, here’s the result you’ve all been waiting for! ;)
— Drumroll —
3: the ‘ordinary’ round radish
2: the long red one
Number 1: the WHITE radish!!!
The root vegetables were tested by wlfr, Mr Gnoe and myself. Mr Gnoe and I ate them with, and without (sea) salt.
Wlfr did the test by himself (probably salted) and sent us his verdict by e-mail:
Cool, right? As always, his and my verdict were completely opposite… Actually, we all had different tastes concerning the three types!
The plain round one was my favourite; the white came first for Mr Gnoe. So he would have won the (con-)test… if it had been a bet ;)
My number 1 was juicy, sweet and spicy at the same time. The white winner started out with a subtle taste and turned into a sharp lingering taste. “Multiple consecutive sensations,” as Mr Gnoe put it. [sic.] The long red one was well… just pretty pungent and a bit too tough to my taste — although Mr Gnoe disagreed.
Anyway, it was a fun thing to do! :) Hope you’ve enjoyed our experiment a little as well? ;)

Looks like scarlet globe, french breakfast, and icicle varieties. Is that a shot of vodka to wash them down?

Thanks Jenn & Judy! I’m glad I now know what these varieties are called! And no… no vodka (what a good idea though ;) Just tab water. It’s serious business, testing! :P

De nummers 1, 2 en 3 kloppen niet met de tekst; toch bezig met het manipuleren van de verkiezingsuitslag?? ;-)
Aha… lezen is ook een kunst, het was niet de einduitslag maar de input van de enige niet-gnoe in het gezelschap!
Dat stelt me erg gerust op deze verkiezingsdag!
