Ah! The old ubiquitous relish dish! Wow! I haven't thought them since
the last time they were mentioned on this list (which was a while
ago).
I'm from the Chicago area and when i was a kid in the 50s it was on
the table at most mid-level restaurants and sometimes at home.
The long multi-sectioned dish held celery sticks, carrot sticks,
whole radishes, and canned olives. I never like canned olives. When i
lived in France i was converted to good olives and now i can get them
in most of my local markets, here in Berserkely. But i still love raw
radishes.

the inestimable Berkeley Bowl.
