Google sez:
"French Breakfast radishes earned this label at the height of their
popularity in Victorian England, as they were commonly consumed for
breakfast among the English upper class and were named French for the
root’s designation of origin."

I know what's in a Full English Breakfast, a Full Scottish, and a Full
Irish; yet a Full Serapu seems to consist of coffee, cigarettes,
buttered radishes and a croissant.
