A surprise at an Epicurean Kitchen: Russian Radish 2011-01-01 - Photo by Ed Waggener. Fortune ST, Columbia, KY the thick slice, above, looks like a turnip but it is not. It is a Russian Radish, recently left on the back porch by an unknown benefactor; but it wasn't until the anonymous donor identified himself as Bruce Wilson, and the slice as a cross section of one of his huge Russian Radishes, that it was eaten. The garnishes are brought on lettuces, purchased from the Walmart. The radish, with vinegar and Kosher salt dressing is a crisp, delicious salad element.
