In terms of cooking, I think of a radish as a kind of watery turnip. I
haven't found a cooking method for them which I consider GOOD, but I found
that if you split them and then pan-cook them cut-side-down in clarified
butter until the cut edge caramelizes, they're not too offensive.

That's great you were adventurous enough to try it. Thanks for letting
us know how it turned out.

I cook radishes all the time. We like them here.
And no, they don't taste the same as they do raw, but imho they are
still good.

I cook the greens too.
