I...Thanks, Anonymous. We kind of figured that out.<br /><br />I can see eating radishes while drinking beer; or black radish salad while drinking beer, but the thought of beer actually made with radishes is too gassy to contemplate.<br /><br />Saludos,<br /> Don CuevasDon Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-18426004771717127182009-11-15T16:17:39.071-06:002009-11-15T16:17:39.071-06:00Mike - the black radish beer doesn't contain r...Mike - the black radish beer doesn't contain real black radishes, I believe it's a combination of the black "schwartz" style of beer and the name of the brewpub.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-57046783161191273052009-11-14T14:22:49.426-06:002009-11-14T14:22:49.426-06:00Leslie Limon, there are many more greens in the Me...Leslie Limon, there are many more greens in the Mexican diet than acelgas. But that is our top favorite. It can be prepared simply and tastily.<br /><br />Besides acelgas, there's espinacas, quelites, verdolagas, huauzontles, etc. <br />And, (UGH!) romeritos, which is somewhat slimy when cooked, so sand is left in, in order that smelly tortitas de camarón not slide off your plate. ;-)<br /><Don Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18132936.post-4762105866557469892009-11-14T12:43:30.349-06:002009-11-14T12:43:30.349-06:00I have never seen a black radish.

But now that I know that they can be found in Mexico, I will be on the lookout.<br /><br />Thank you also for explaining what the different greens available are.

The Spanish name is "Rábano Negro Redondo". The English name "The Black Radish" would make a great name for a pub. So would "El Rábano Negro". Hmmm, I'll drink to that. I think I'll have a beer :)Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.com
