Rocket

[Beaufort]

I've just been pulling up the last of the rocket in the greenhouse and some of the roots are huge. I was wondering if it was possible to perhaps reduce them down and use them in a similar fashion to horseradish?

A quick glimpse through Google implies it is used almost entirely in salad like dishes. There's nothing immediately apparent along the lines you are thinking.

`What was the rule? Taste it, and if you're still alive in ... (how many?) days, it's safe?

More seriously, if the green parts are good, the roots can't hurt either?

I've tried 'giggling' this option and nothing immediately came to hand. I must admit my first reaction was if the leaves and flowers are safe to eat then so are the roots. Rocket is a member of the brassica family. I'll try feeding some to SWMBO and take things from there.

I do love the fact that Horseradish is so benign until you throw the vinegar on it...

I wonder if there's any more common roots that change so significantly with the addition of something simple like vinegar...
