This looks great! I grew watermelon radishes for the first time last summer and loved them — 55 days to a medium beet-size of about 4 inches across. They do get hot and woody if you don't keep the water supply pretty steady, but are easy to grow as regular radishes and are absolutely spectacular. A slightly sweet vinegar, like the rice wine vinegar mellows the flavor — takes the a little heat out.

Rowi, thanks. Taste is similar but texture is different; watermelon radish is a bit toothier (this is a good thing). Dried elderberries are great, give them a try. Also love elderberry flower tea — it's wonderful stuff. Fritters — wow, must try!

Divina, with all that tropical color of food in Manila, you can probably come up with an even better breakaway version!

Looks gorgeous. Unfortunately we don't' have that watermelon radish. They have such vibrant and great color. Love the explosions of flavor.

What a fantastic colour explosion! I love the radish touch but I haven't tasted this particular one as yet. Is the taste the same as the regular red radish? I also like your idea of dried elderberries – they're ripe for the picking this time in Sweden and I am really curious to try drying them. I have made elderberry cordial before but the taste was rather blah. The elder flowers however are such a delight to make cordials and fritters.

Wa, you want to flavor rice? Je ne comprend pas la question, as Rufus might say.

Have you mentioned rice flavoring/infusion? Show me the way-ay, as Frampton implored, if so.
