It is the season of radishes. Let us celebrate. Up and down the street, people greet each other and hold up their radishes. We compare size, smoothness, texture. We lean forward and sniff each others radishes. I say to one man, "Your radishes seem fuller, richer, tangier than last year." He tells me he's always admired my radishes.
Standing in front of Dunkin Donuts, I note at least a dozen people checking out my radishes. You've got to be careful in choosing this delicacy. A seemingly healthy one may be corroded and rotting inside, so it's always best to finger each radish before making a decision.
Of course, eating too many can cause gas. Be disciplined. Spread out your consumption. Substitute anchovies periodically, although anchovy season is 54 days away. If you close you eyes and think radish while biting into a cherry tomato, that may be a worthy alternative for the discerning radish aficionado.
Life is just too short for us choosy epicureans to settle for substandard nutrition.
