Cauliraddish

Cauliraddish: noun. The newest and oldest breed of vegetable to ever come from Bhutan. The cauliraddish was a vegetable that grew in the harsh ecosystem of Bhutan in roughly 2000 BCE, however it was over-farmed and went extinct. However in recent years geneticists from Bhutan found some remnant DNA of the vegetable and successfully recreated it in their laboratories. They have now begun the redistribution of the vegetable in the local farms, hoping that one day the cauliraddish will be the only vegetable in the entire world. The taste of the vegetable has been described as bitter-sweet with an aromatic-pungent smell. The word has mostly been used in the following sentence: "I don't want the delicious cauliraddish soup I made, it's disgusting."
