The interesting radish I had from the Somerville winter farmers market is a "starburst radish," according to the vendor, who also said it's a variety of daikon, and that the name was unlikely to help me find it elsewhere. (This assumes that what we bought two weeks ago and still have half of is the same variety the vendor gave me a sample of yesterday; it's possible that what I had earlier was the one he called "watermelon.")
Interesting in this context means flavorful, in a peppery direction, but not too spicy for me to eat; most radishes I see, however pretty, are very bland. This guy has some too hot for me to eat. He likes to hand out sample slices to anyone passing by, of radishes and carrots (and possibly other root vegetables).
The vendor also said he'd talked to Whole Foods about them carrying some of his radishes, but nothing had been settled.
ETA: I just looked in the vegetable drawer, and I think the one we have now is purpler than what I tried yesterday. Clearly, when I need more radishes I will have to ask for another sample.
