I chucked a few seeds about on my patch and now I have a crop of big white radishes.

Unfortunately I have a delicate little mouth (coughing a little here and they are far too hot for me to eat as radishes.

Any ideas?

I'm sure you have Sharron far to hot for such a delicate lady ;-) ..... what you going to do with them ....added to sausage perhaps? :-D

Dunno Nolls. The idea was to see if anybody else had any good ideas.

Sausages are out of my juris diction. They are part of Fred's public life.

Sharron Google radish recipes there are loads eg Baked Radish Chips ... Looks good

I've never tried it (I like them raw) but I imagine you can cook them like any other root veg. They would probably not be quite so spicy in a stew. There are lots of options on Google - this is just one of them.

Sharron radishes are good in stir fry.

Glad I am not the only one Sharron, I can't stand the taste in my delicate little mouth either lol

I'm another delicate little flower.

:-D

If I'm a little rosebud, Himself must be a giant cactus....... he chomps down jalapeno peppers! The last time we bought radishes he moaned because they weren't hot enough.

What I can never understand is that I really do not like chilli but I love a bit of mustard or even a little horseradish.

I have some Quorn beef style slices for sandwiches and am toying with the idea of grating one of said radishes to eat in a sandwich with a couple of slices of it.

I am sure that, if you asked her, Wend would vouch for the delicacy of my dainty little cake- hole. Then again, she may well not!

Although I may be wrong, I did find that the longer the radishes are in the ground, the milder they get.

To be honest, if you're that sensitive to the taste, I wouldn't go anywhere near them.

I'm the same with chilli (fresh, ground or flakes), most curries and many peppery spices. All I get is 'heat' in my mouth which swamps out the flavour of anything else. The family thought I was exaggerating until I used the same chopping board to make a sandwich as OH who, unknown to me, had sprinkled cayenne pepper on his. Of course, mine picked up a few grains! I'm not sure if my lips do swell up, but it certainly feels like it.

I love radishes but this particular crop is red hot.

The others can stay where they are for a long time yet so they calm down a bit.

On the basis that cream, milk and creamed coconut calms down chillies/curries, could something similar be used with the radishes?

Added - and plain yoghurt?

Maybe I will give them to somebody I don't like.

There's a radish soup here

You could add more yogurt/creme fraiche'milk or cream if its still too hot.

Cream of Radish and Apple soup? The sweetness of the apple might help the 'heat'
