=============================
 ->  RH> I generally do, but who puts BBQ sauce on good smoked meat? 
 -> Precisely. But the answer is: all Alabamians, all Mississippians,
 -> all Floridians, all Memphians.
 RH> You'll have to educate them.

There are those who would say that all such are uneducable,
at least until they move out of state.

 -> Cooked radishes are in fact a staple of Chinese and French
 -> cookings. Not that that's a great endorsement. Or not.
 RH> I've never had a good one yet, but then I'm not always a fan of cooked
 RH> veggies. 

I am likely to eat cooked veggies in moderation; raw ones,
not so much.

 -> Mustikkapiirakka (blueberry pie)
 RH> Finnish blueberry pie?  The original may have been a different small
 RH> berry;  I'm not that up on traditional Scandinavian goodies. 
 
There are Vaccinium varieties all over the northern regions
in both old and new worlds: blueberry might be an only
approximate translation of bilberries or huckleberries or
something similar (blue or purple Vacciniums). Might even
be cranberries or lingonberries (red Vacciniums).
