Attempted to make Japanese pickled radish (takuan) tonight, and just realized that if your radish are bitter, your pickles will be bitter too. (need to harvest those radish before they go to seed, I suspect. On the plus side, we will have about 100,000 radishes volunteering themselves in a year 🤔) #fail #cooking

@ai6yr
One year, I planted Daikons and Spanish Blacks.
Both mild (and large) varieties. The next year I got volunteers.
Quite a few. They looked like average sized white icicle radishes that someone had run a greasy (black) finger down in a couple places.
It seems that the prior year's radishes had cross pollinated. And I got several of the mutants.
Those MFs were so HOT, the only way to eat them was pickled or sliced thin into a stir fry.
