Hi Michael, Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it. Yes, it is like a riddle, although I think the first line gives it away too much. This haiku reminded me not to judge things by its size. It might be a short poem but it took ages to finish, and I’m still questioning it. By the way, congratulations on the nomination for Pedestrian’s 2014 Blogster Award (http://www.pedestrian.tv/blogster-awards/food/2014)! I’ve not heard of it before but it looks good and inspiring. They’re all excellent food blogs on the list but I think you’ve got a great chance to win in the category. Best wishes for it and great gif btw!
Hi Rika, Thanks for your comment. It’s my first haiku. Choosing just 5 syllables to describe them in the first line was challenging. Another option was buried snow white heart, but I think peppery white heart works better.
Hi Jem, Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it. It’s one of my favourite root vegetables and I thought a short and succinct haiku would suit it well.
So simple but so resonant! That could practically be a riddle! Another well written morsel :D

Beautiful… love the ‘peppery white heart’, it describes these beauties well!

Love it & an appropriate ode to a wonderful vegetable…
