Above .. Yellow beets ...eaten red beets but not seen (till now) or eaten yellow beets

Black Radish above...eaten radish but never heard of black radish till now! I wonder if the skin is black as the soil was black...and it's not really black radish?

Yucca above ...seen this ...never eaten this...did not know this name till now
 Celeriac above...never heard or seen this vegetable till now!
 Artichokes above...never eaten this
 Balady Zucchini above...I have seen dark green zucchini but not with this stripes and dots

 Dandelion leaves above...this 'weed' grows in my garden...I have never eaten it
 Arugula leaves above (eaten this when it was on a pizza...tasty!)

I wonder how many hundreds of vegetables, roots and greens are out there, which I have never tasted. Why am I not adventurous enough  to try new stuff?

hi There,
I like your blog and the way you have documented your experience. I used to blog when I was in India but after coming to Canada got busy in job hunting and all.
