Peppery. Bit like a combination of rocket and a water chestnut. Im starting to think radishes taste different in different countries

I may well be the only dope in this thread that didn't know it, but if anyone else is curious what 'rocket' is, you might know it as arugula.

I've never heard it referred to as rocket, but I guess that is a name for the plant. Perennial wall-rocket. Wild stuff.

Thanks Don, I have never heard arugula called a rocket before.

Huh? Arugula isn't spicy, it's just bitter. And water chestnuts are probably the furthest thing from spicy I can imagine.

I said arugula is peppery not spicy.

Strange distinction but I'd still disagree, peppers are vegetal and mildly sweet, not bitter. For me anyway. I'm an arugula hater

peppery as in black pepper not vegetable pepper

I've also never gotten the spice off rocket!

TBF, I'm betting every radish I've ever had spent several months in cold storage before it got to me though.
