Now that's what you call a radish!

I never imagined I'd ever find a vegetable that was too large for Mrs M's trusty trolley bag, but today broke that record, and after last week's failed attempt to secure the mooli, her local Indian greengrocer came up trumps this time round.

I can't really remember much about the rest of the mission as I think I was still in a daze about not only locating this somewhat exotic vegetable for a delighted Mrs M, but how on (in?) earth something like this is grown...
