Can you identify this vegetable?

I know that this is a blood orange... 

                           

But what is this? I found it in the vegetable shop with the parsnips and I don't know what it is.

  3. Vlasta, I never thought of it being a raddish, that's interesting. If it is, what do you think I could do with it? My plan was just to steam it and mix it with some potatoes, or put it in a stir-fry.
    Lars, haha, I think there are white aubergines, aren't there? Isn't that why yous Americans call them eggplants?

  4. If that is a white raddish, it should be quite heavy for it's size, and have this raddishy smell ;-). I usually just peel it and have a slice or two on my hummus sandwich. As a rule, it's not as fiery as the red variety, but adds a pleasant, sharp note to the sandwich. I heard of them being used cooked in Chinese cuisine, but I have to admit, never tried that myself.

    I guess as I was quite slow with tha answer - sorry about that! - the vegetable has been eaten already, whatever that was... Hope you liked it anyway :-)
