Radishes for breakfast? Honestly...!
moosemeat
While perusing a rack of seed envelopes I saw a variety of radish named
"French Breakfast". I am aware that those French will eat some strange stuff
but eating radishes for breakfast is too much. Has anybody ever heard of this
bizzare practice?

At the very beginning of the garden season
when the radishes are the first edible thing,
the French do eat them for breakfast - or lunch - or snack.
Cut a slice off a fresh baguette, spread
with unsalted butter and cover with sliced (or whole)
radishes. Sprinkle with a little salt. Bon appetit!

Why do you think this is so strange? You eat cold pizza for breakfast, don't
you? Besides, we've already done the strange breakfast thread this year.

Not only heard but even practiced this 'bizarre' behavior. Don't forget
that in some parts of the world, breakfast consists of sandwiches - some
of them are made with fresh farmer's cheese and sliced radishes.

Heard of it? I'm about to sit down to a breakfast that contains not just
radishes, but PICKLED radishes! But they go great with the raw quail
eggs......

Moosie,
I eat everything when I want it, not by what time of day it is. If I want
a nice salad with radishes in it first thing in the morning, I'll have it.
Same goes if I want raisin bran or shredded wheat while watching the telly
in the evening. What does it matter what we eat when, so long as
everything comes out even?
I follow a diabetic diet. I get 50 grams of carbohydrates each meal and
another 50 I spread out between meals. So long as I don't go overboard on
the carbs, protein and fat, I can choose anything at any time that will
fulfill the nutrition requirements.

Can't say radishes are my favorite breakfast food, Moose, but I've been
eating radish sandwiches all my rememberable life: Butter the bread, both
slices. Slice radishes on buttered side of one slice. Sprinkle with a
wee bit of salt. Top with second slice of bread, buttered side in, and
enjoy. It's a twofer. You get to enjoy it when you eat it, and later,
too...... *'_"*

I liked the cold cuts for breakfast better. (In Morbach, that is.)

Goodness, Barb...really have to laugh!!!!!!!!!!! I used to come home
from elementary school just about every day & fix my radish sandwich
(with Miracle Whip!...to keep the slices stuck in between the bread!!)
and then flop across my folk's bed with a good book... :-)

I'm afraid so Moosie. My mother eats her radishes for breakfast,
lunch AND dinner!

Me, I love tomato sandwiches. Only thing is I have to spend $4.00 a pound
for the best ripe tomatoes ... on a crusty baguette and mayonnaise. Mebbe
a few sliced red onions.

Yikes!!!! Heaven on earth. I love that with pita bread, too.
I try to eat tomato sandwiches in private because ... let's just say
it's not a pretty sight ... what a mess ...

It's common enough for those of Central and Eastern European extraction,
as well as the French, Dutch, and Belgians

I'll take the crusty french bread toast it, rub on some olive oil, add
some slices of fresh mozzarella and whole basill leaves to the tomato,
salt pepper and capers and I'm in heaven!

The concept of "breakfast food" has always puzzled me. Why do we eat special
foods at breakfast time? Why are people repulsed by the thought of eating
something in the morning that they would salivate over at lunchtime?
Traditional American/English breakfast foods are some of the most
grease-laden, undigestible items in our diet (e.g. fried bacon and eggs,
fatty sausages, buttered toast). Personally, I'd just as soon have leftovers
from last night's dinner. Why do we eat this stuff in the morning?

Elizabeth, as an Alsatian, I am curious to know what the Epicurian calls
'Alsatian style' for a soup... (I don't suspect it not to be legitimate,
I just have no idea what they are alluding to...) Thanks in advance.
The only drawback of the menu you quoted for a fine June morning is
that, so far in France, we haven't had any fine June mornings to go with
it...

Do you suppose that consideration of a strong-flavored breakfast is hampered by
thoughts of daylong 'breakfast breath?'

Mathieu,
Soup? This is NOT a soup. It is a main dish made with ham, bacon,
"roots", onions, broth, brandy, butter, bread crumbs, sauerkraut and a
good brown gravy.
Thanks in advance.

I wish I could send you some. I live in southwest Florida; it is 7:30
