There's a children's chant in Taiwan called "squatting radishes", which involves children bobbing up and down and calling out each other's nicknames. It's a fun way to hone the children's reaction time, listening ability and coordination. Naturally it's also a great test for slightly older children (hosts Ellen Chu and Andrew Ryan) and the perfect way to introduce radishes and how they're used in Taiwanese cuisine. 

Today's menu: In our first course, we’re going to kick things off by testing Andrew’s ability to squat, and discussing why it’s so hard for foreigners. In our second course, we move on to radishes and a game we are calling “You don’t know squat about radishes," in which we test Ellen’s knowledge of these bulbous tubers. And in our third and final course, we’re going to sample radish cakes – the savory kind we eat for breakfast in Taiwan (which are often erroneously called "turnip cakes").
