While there has been much eating and drinking on the weekend, life is getting in the way of writing about such things just yet. So here is a teaser. Spotted at the Healesville organic market was this interesting vegetable. Can you guess what it is and if so, have you ever cooked with it?
Two clues: Yes it is black and no it is not a beetroot.

It could be a black radish.
Hmm, I have no idea - is it a type of taro??
KH if it was black radish, what would you do with it?
Is it some breed of turnip?
I would use it exactly as my father used to do with the regular radishes he always grew in the garden - sliced in summer salads. Occasionally we would eat them 'solo' as a snack with a dip of mayonnaise or yogurt and cucumber.
You can grate it really finely, mix it with a dressing and serve as a salad, goes well with beef. If you leave it to sit, it does develop a sulphurous smell, just blame the dog!
