Yay! I (kinda…sorta…) made a beer garden radish, with just my “skill” with a knife:

The main thing I learned, though, was that I should just buy the proper tool for the job:

So it's that great time of "year" when you know you're going away, you live off fresh veg and fruit mostly and everything you've got, right down to onions won't survive until you reopen home again in 4 weeks time...

So 2kg of onions became a Persian Onion Soup with Eggy Bread...
I added in some walnuts and apricots as per the recipe, but also thought that the sweetness of the apricots needed balancing with something, so our came the barberries. They worked really well together.
(The recipe gives 'extras' to go in the soup, but also states not all at once. They are walnuts, spinach and apricots.)

Despite the appearance, it is actually a very tasty and very easy soup to make.

It all sounds lovely to me.
 
Why is it a beer garden radish?
They’re frequently served in beer gardens, spiral cut and heavily salted, along with soft pretzels and beer (we ate ours with a champagne!). Here’s ours from last weekend:

I used a daikon radish, but there is an actual variety of radish called “Beer Garden Radish” that you can buy seeds for and grow yourself.
