can anyone please recommend a radish variety that actually has some flavour/heat and tastes like a radish?

I just haven't bothered recently as the ones I've tried are too bland (French Breakfast and Saxa come to mind)

Thanks

I grew Cherry Bell last year and they had quite a strong hot flavour, although they are quick to go to seed. They were grown side by side with French Breakfast, so it wasn't the growing conditions (although these can make a difference). The customers were more taken with the looks of the French Breakfast, although when we did tastings most people preferred the Cherry Bell!
