[Sca-cooks] 1637 Hosokawa Sansai Kaiseki Meal

[margali]

oven french fries out of daikon. Just cut into fries, and do the
olive oil herb coating oven fry thing ;-)

[although personally, I think they have the texture and taste of
jerusalem artichokes combined with water chestnut. I think in a
pinch you could sub daikon for water chestnut and most people
wouldn't notice. I have a batch in the oven right now ;-)]

the quote starts here:
 In that case it would not
have been potato, rather what the Japanese call Daikon, which is
indeed a
large white radish with no really noticeable flavor.
Sort of shaped like an elongated radish of gigantic proportions.
