Vegetable with a variety called French Breakfast (6)

I believe the answer is:

radish

(Other definitions for radish that I've seen before include "Pungent, red salad vegetable" , "Plant with crisp root eaten raw" , "Small red salad vegetable" , "Edible small root" , "Bit of salad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
