I use it in barbecue sauce, baked beans and deviled eggs, among other things. Think of it as American wasabi, because that's what it is. I would classify it as a root vegetable although it's used as a condiment. It seems less lethal to process if you use an old fashioned crank grinder that clamps to the table. I know people that spend the summer scoping rummage sales for food processors and blenders just for horseradish season because they wreck several in the grinding process. It grows wild around here, but I haven't dug any for years. Wonder what would happen if you roasted a whole root? Hmm, might have to try it. Throw a root in with a beef roast. Anyone ever tried this? (I'm sure someone has.)

My favorite commercial horseradish makes a wasabi-horseradish blend. I've never tried it - it's new - so can't speak to the ingredients or quality.

The palate knows horseradish as half delayed gratification and half sidekick. In exchange for a little pain, things taste better. Oh, and let's not forget the half humor of tears and clear sinuses.

Twisted sensuality works far better than a girl-food buzzword as the hook for your campaign. Horseradish hurts, but it hurts so good.

We want you! Best answer I have heard so far. And I bet your thinking, does she still think it is "indulgent"? No. We have completely erased that from our minds. We should have known better. Were going on a more powerful direction. Thanks to you we had brillant ideas, and a really good laugh. I really appreciate it!

My cousins and I would have horseradish eating contests at the Passover table. We'd have some strong stuff, and the six of us would try to outdo one another in the amount we'd eat.


Ah...the Atomic Horseradish (the pinkish stuff)...is the BEST for eating shmeered on Matzo. My spousal unit takes her Matzo, spreads on some Atomic Horseradish, tops it with peanut butter and eats the whole thing up. She just luvs the stuff. Me...I love it on sandwiches (i.e. the Horsey sauce consistancy)...or shmeered under something sweet. When we make Matzo Pizza(s), we mix it with the sauce and then layer mozzarella cheese on top...place in toaster oven until melted, and then "FEASTTTTT"...mmmmm
