So how do you think the little bag of fine white powder will go over with security? Just curious.

If you like the taste of radish, you should try Kohlrabi. I think they taste very similar.

good point Kyla! I didn't even think of that.

But it's a very big grained rock salt, and thus pretty obvious that it's not something sinister.

I imagine that they won't even see it in the x-ray machine, and it's not illegal to carry salt, even on an airplane.

could make for a good story, too!

I have never thought to put butter on a radish. I wonder if everything is better with butter. I am intrigued I must admit.

Oh please you tell them thats its salt and they may make you taste it but I can't imagine anything else. Worst case scenario they have a dog sniff it. This sounds excellent and is pretty shelf stable, nice counter to the no ice rule although if you want something on ice you could always use frozen fruit to store it.

That's one of my favorite springtime snacks! I'd never thought of taking it on a plane, I always end up half-heartedly snacking on those awful mini-pretzels.

They consider Peanut Butter a liquid, so I don't think you'll get away with the butter, unless you have it in an approved 3 oz. or less container.

Sad but true, butter will count as a liquid or gel.

Oh! Funny story about liquid/gel: Last summer I went to New York with about 9 pints of Jeni's ice cream. They were packed in dry ice, and I did plenty of research on whether I could carry on dry ice or not. I asked several airport employees and checked on regulations online.

Well, when I got to the gate they made me check the package because, as they repeatedly told me, ice cream is frozen, and if it melts it will become a liquid, which is not allowed.

So hazardous dry ice - yes. Delicious Jeni's ice cream? No.

seems really like a really fussy snack to take on a plane!

I agree with spossberg. I can't imagine fumbling around with butter and salt and having to explain it to my seatmate.

Radishes with butter, salt and bread are among the perfect snacks. Keep it simple, though, with plane food.

I like your bamboo cutting board. I'm a geek like that.

What a wonderful idea! I adore radishes, esp. "french breakfast" ones. I buy my seeds in Paris because they seem to germinate & grow faster than domestic ones. BHV has them. Union Square greenmarket always has an amazing selection in spring. The long shape is easier to butter, too. For me, fleur de sel is the only salt to use on these gems.
