My money's on kohlrabi! Though daikon sounds good, too.
Kohlrabi. Yummm. I would think it a bit too zesty... but worth
considering. (My mother used to be *astonished* at the quantity of raw
kohlrabi I would consume at one sitting. And not a tiny bit upset: that
stuff cost money.)
For those of you unfamiliar with kohlrabi, it is a root vegetable, rather
ball shaped, and with several stalks arising from various places on the top
hemisphere of the root. It is a vaguely "institutional green", and we used
to peel and slice it into salads. Taste and texture similar to radishes
that are slightly sharp.
I have no idea if it is period. I do know it is delicious.
