Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

Rocket is a vegetable. Also known as arugula. It's on the spicy side.
You think it's spicy? I've never heard that honestly. A little peppery tasting, sure, but not spicy. Unless there's spicy varieties of it or something.
I mean... not jalapeno spicy, but I'd say it's on the radish level if it's decent.
Radishes are not spicy, I've never understood this. It's almost entirely water!
I remember thinking radishes were spicy as a kid. As an adult, not so much.
They certainly have a bite to them, though I don't know if spicy is the word I'd use exactly.
Long European radishes are mild, the round American ones are quite spicy, like mustard or horse_radish_.
Hard disagree. I eat the smaller round ones raw all the time. Y'all need to step your game up.
Like they said... what do you think horseradish is? For that matter, what do you think wasabi is?
I thought wasabi was its own unique root veggie type, didn't realize it was a radish relative. Horseradish obviously, but if we're talking the round red radishes you get in the produce section, those aren't spicy. Mildly peppery at best, but I would never refer to them as spicy per se.
If you grow your own radishes they can sometimes be very spicy.
A word that is sometimes used is "piquant", rocket is just another kind of mustard essentially and it can be hot like mustard can be (think how wasabi is spicy; the greens are not as spicy as wasabi generally, but it's on the same spectrum).
Personally I find it bitter
Bitter for sure. I hate arugula. Hate it!!
The YouTube channel “Tasting History” has a video on this. If you’re interested in the history of food, that channel is fantastic.
That sounds great! I'll check it out. Thanks!
That is a legitimately great channel. It is worth a watch
I was recently introduced to tasting history and it's become the new obsession in our house. My wife even bought his cookbook.
Sounds really fkn delicious.
Those mfs were eating better than me.
That sounds delicious.
I'm not a fan of beets, but it sounds good otherwise.
