sauteed them in butter with some garlic.... I wouldn't say they were 'amazing'
but they were pretty ok--- just had a mild flavor of greens, with no hint of "radish"...

Also, the leaves of broccoli and cauliflower can be eaten---

The first year I tried growing those, it they got too hot and went to seed without forming heads,
so I harvested some of the leaves as a substitute for lettuce in my burritos...
those were very satisfactory for that purpose!
