Re: Rubbish Recipes
Did anyone see Fanny and her recipe for Baltic Eggs. A shelled HB egg, the topped lopped off, then a curled anchovy put on top. Fortunately the programme was in Black & white

"Spoon with a sawn off end!" What was that, a DIY accident?
Potato "salad" with potato "omelette". Hmm. And why tinned potatoes when there's all those leftover proper potatoes? They're disgusting! And she didn't wash the celery before she brutalised it. Yuk.
What is scariest is that it is 1973, not 1943.
I don't think we were shown the finished product, was it going to be a Spanish omelette/tortilla Espanole?
That celery was chopped very chunkily I think and not stringed. Oh yes, the good old English salad; half or quarter of a boiled egg, a bitter lettuce leaf or two and a quarter of green tomato and if The Fates really hated you that day a mega-chunk of cucumber. Hooray, the Good Old Days.

No idea. I really don't like vinegar and that is all the beetroot we got as well.

Re: Rubbish Recipes
We never had radishes with a salad.
Was I a deprived child?

Re: Rubbish Recipes
Clearly . When we first moved to the country I was given my own patch to grow radishes. I was thrilled when they came up and we enjoyed them all that season. I don't remember having them before or after that.

Re: Rubbish Recipes
We had them mainly from my patch of radishes and nasturtiums
But not usually in a salad - just nibbled as a side to cheese and crackers

Re: Rubbish Recipes
Radishes was one of the first things I ever grew. As a kid there was a narrowish edging to the paved area (done of necessity so three lines of washing could be hung out). They did grow, yay, though hardly "star grower" size. (Also, carrots in a bucket, for the long tap root.)
Radishes we normally chomped, dipping in a little mound of salt. I still eat them that way. Acidulated thin slivers on salads? Be my guest

Re: Rubbish Recipes
I buy radishes from time to time lured by promises of 'the peppery taste', they taste of nothing to me, just a lot of dull chewing.

Re: Rubbish Recipes
Supermarket radishes tend to be very bland these days. Except for one bunch where they were so hot I found them unpleasant.

Re: Rubbish Recipes
Early in summer there were big bunches of “breakfast” radishes around - the long two-tone ones. Yum
Re: Rubbish Recipes
Miss Mouse, you seem to have lost your zest a bit so I hope you're OK.
I decided to take a '70s retro turn yesterday, blaming this thread lol. Being: pineapple chunks, cheddar, red grapes, and I opened a can of artichoke hearts, instead of obligatory bitter lettuce, so added a cube or two of feta.
Couldn't figure out a dressing as I didn't want mayo, so settled on a simple mustard vinaigrette for the artichokes hearts. Really enjoyed it, with a thick slice of bread grilled as if crostini, i.e. lightly EVOO'd, and sea salted (no place for garlic). If I'd had any, radishes would have been on the plate.
