Butternut squash, butterscoth icecream and balance

This is the season to eat  food with a bit of a glow-butternut squash baked and filled with Cashel Blue cheese, then butterscotch ice-cream-maybe with bread and butter pudding. For a starter guaranteed to bring tear-filled tributes to the cook-or assembler in this case-what about radishes? No sneering. Wash the radishes a bit, and trim them. Then place in a bowl of iced water and then in the fridge. Just before you eat them, dry then off a bit, give everyone a small plate wit 8 or 9 radishes, a slab of unsalted butter and a puddle of sea salt. Dip the radishes into the butter, then the salt. Eat. Your status as a domestic  princess/prince is assured
