Radishes have such a bright flavor and with the right bread, this would be a great little sandwich. Very pretty, too! Those radishes look lovely. I’ll bet this WAS good.

And a good butter can turn any ordinary bread into something scrumptious! Hmm never had a radish tartine before… but it looks wonderful.

The sensation of butter squeezing through my teeth makes me squirm. (Or anything squeezing through my teeth, which is why I avoid pizza.)

They worked great, turned out crisp and chewy, and the dough kept in the fridge for, like, weeks until you were ready to bake it. I need to go back to those -- we had lots of winter suppers of just hot bread and cheese and fruit. Thanks for the reminder -- and thanks for reminding me how good the Times food section is now -- I used to be a loyal reader, and maybe it's time again.

I have made the butter rounds, French, Danish, organic, and I tell you that the Kerry Gold is THE best I have tried. I will give the butter mentioned above a try on that amazing Tuscan bread and we shall see. pww P.S. Aren't you proud of me for not bringing Marlon Brando into the conversation?

Let me count the ways. Seriously, when I first tried it I was just sure that it wasn't going to be special. Something about the combination. A little crunch from the radish, good crusty bread- heaven in my mouth! Oh how I love the radish sandwich. Let me count the ways.

Holy crap, that's good stuff. You know, you can also poach/parboil radishes in chicken or turkey stock and serve them as a side-dish. The heat brings out a whole new dimension of flavor.

You've convinced me. I like to have small halved radishes (or if we pull them early enough from the yard, whole ones) with a little bowl of olive oil and a little bowl of salt. I dip them in the salt, then the oil (or the other way) and snack away.

Nothing better, in my opinion, especially with great salt or a nice salty butter.
