writeaway Sep 8, 2005:
you were nearly there! :-)
Siobhan Schoonhoff-Reilly (asker) Sep 8, 2005:
Hello Writeaway, well thank you very much for pointing that out! Obviously, if I had come up with 'icicle radish' myself, I wouldn't have posted the question!
writeaway Sep 8, 2005:
it was that easy-you should have Googled Icicle radish-it comes up immediately. it also showed up immediately in NL texts that it was a radish-all you had to do was put 2 + 2 together! :-)
Siobhan Schoonhoff-Reilly (asker) Sep 8, 2005:
Ah, if only it were so easy! In the meantime I've been doing some rooting (if you'll pardon the pun) around and from what I can make out, �jspegeels are some sort of root vegetable similar to radish.

Popsicles?

Ijspegels of course are icicles, but as food it could be popsicles although popsicles in Dutch are ijslollies generally.

ik ken toch geen groenten die ook maar in de verste verte op ijspegels lijken of zo genoemd worden, vandaar dat ik denk dat ze ook echt ijspegels - icicles dus - bedoelen; ik ben benieuwd...

Good old UK English ice lollies.
Seems they come in savory flavours too, these days, so not just 'popsicles'!
