Horseradish!

[replicant_argent]

looked at a few roots on the way by in the grocery store last night, spongy and droopy, most of them. Pretty sad, but I am keeping my eye on them, because I do enjoy horseradish, and always keep some in the fridge for putting in bean, split pea soup, or borscht. Never made it myself of grated it fresh, which is pretty funny, because when I step back and look at how I cook, it would seem natural that I would.

Man, :eevis, I've heard some great things about your rub & now you're movin' on to horseradish...sounds awesome. My mom used to make it fresh and my taste for it grew early on. I even had horseradish eating contests with friends as a kid. We were crazy like that. I tend to like creamed horseradish mixed with the fresh so it's hotter. I love tons of the stuff in my cocktail sauce with shrimp and even more in my bloody mary's!

We try to do the horseradish challange too. One of my buddies always comes over all macho and tries to eat some. There has yet to be a year that i have failed to make him cry. We try to do two different heat levels since I love it HOT, but most of the family has more delicate tastebuds. I think I fried mine of in my teens. The only thing that got me was once at a local bar, they had Horseradish wings, I could only get through a half dozen!

(in my best Homer voice) Ummmm... Horesradish

I'd love to have some homemade horseradish! It would be a first. I may have to have my wife check out Greens Produce to see if she can find me any beginnings.

I tis real easy to make. I will post a recipe in that section
