Maybe they'll eat the leaves.

That looks just like a "Toki-nashi Daikon" to me. They are quite tasty. Raw they have a stronger bite than a regular daikon, but cooking them takes it away and they become soft and sweeter.

Try eating one yourselves.

1. Miso soup. Cut in .5cm wheels, then quarter them and make soup
2. Buri-Daikon. There are lots of recipe on the internet. You don't need to use yellowtail.
3. Oden again, google it for the recipe.
4. Pickles. Salt or sour refrigerator pickles.
5. Try stewing some slowly for hours with a retired egg layer hen.

There are thousands of recipes on the internet using daikon. And they somehow help you feel warmer in the cold weather.

My Daikon (sp?) radish/rape cover crop is doing awesome too so far! Can't wait to see if the deer take to it this winter.

That's Diakon Radish and extremely healthy for you folks! It's real good cooked with carrots.

The tops can be eaten too as greens just like red radish greens.

I need to get some seeds!

Everybody --- I just wanted to chime in and make sure there isn't bad information kicking around. Oilseed radishes look a lot like daikon radishes because they're in the same species. However, the ones bred to be used as cover crops (sometimes called tillage radishes) have been selected for production of lots of biomass rather than for edibility, so they're probably not the best to eat. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt us to eat them, but I'll bet it would turn us off daikon radishes for good (especially since neither of us are radish fans to begin with).
