Each year in the Mexican city of Oaxaca, the days before Christmas are marked with an event known as the Night of the Radishes. Sadly, it's not a low-budget 80s horror movie, but instead a vegetable carving competition. Participants get remarkably creative, with everything from nativity scenes to fantastical monsters on display as thousands of visitors descend on the city to witness the fun.
@The_Zan Radishes are only good as tiny pieces on a Baja street taco.
So I vote for more weirdly-wonderful cultural traditions using radishes to make beauty, thoughtful art, and especially monsters (freeing the monsters within the nasty root veg!!!).
