Do you like Horseradish?

[Artofwar420]

I personally can only stand a slight trace of horseradish, any more than that and I just can't eat it.

So, am I alone here? Or does everybody just love the thing?

[esophagus]

I don't think I have ever knowingly ate horseradish.

[Rokov]

I haven't had it in a long time, but I remember liking it the one time I tried it.

[straylightrise]

Full Disclosure:

My great-aunt makes home-made horseradish. SPICY horseradish and its amazing.

I love horseradish so much - its great for sinus relief

Really? Do you like a roast beef sandwich? If so, and you like mayonnaise, mix a little horseradish with the mayo and use in place of mustard. If you ever eat prime rib, standing rib roast, you usually get some white sauce, it can be made with something like sour cream and horseradish. There are also several brands of mustard that have the stuff in it as well. Finally, mashed potatoes mixed with some horseradish. Start out mild and then add as your taste adjusts.

Jewish people sometimes use it in certain ceremonies as well. Never saw it used in the Catholic Church.

If you eat steamed shrimp, you can made a quick cocktail sauce with ketchup and horseradish. Ratios are to taste.

loveeee it

raspberry and horseradish jam = amazing on pork

Do you mean something like a grilled pork loin? Chops? Never thought of those two items combined. Must think about this a while....

[Artofwar420]

I guess I do like it with shrimp, now that I think of it.

[tokenuser]

That green "wasabi" you get with sushi? Not wasabi ... largely horseradish. Tastes noting like real grated wasabi root.

We keep a container of smoked horseradish creme in the fridge for roast beef sandwiches. Yum - esp with rare/med-rare beef, tomatoe, and aged cheddar.

[Artofwar420]

I hear wasabi... real wasabbi is expensive.

[rabidbadger]

I voted love it, but only because, for me, a small amount is absolutely necessary with roast beef-ish things, and essential for shrimp cocktail. Other than that, don't remember ever using it for anything else.

[Guytheninja]

Down with Horseradish I can't stand it.

Now Tabasco Sauce --- I can't get enough of that :D.

never been a fan. I bet you like bloody marys too.

[tokenuser]

I hear wasabi... real wasabbi is expensive.Apparently ... I tried it at the rooftop hibachi restaurant of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo ... along with Kobe beef, and angler fish sashimi. I think it was the single most expensive meal I have ever had in my life.

And the best part was someone else was paying :)

eat me. sounds like you eaten everything else. And I'm SPICY! :D

[Guytheninja]

I probably would like them if I drank alcohol. :D

[tokenuser]

eat me. sounds like you eaten everything else. And I'm SPICY! :DSorry. Not a fan of the special white sauce.

But yeah ... I like my food. I try to eat local whenever I travel. The Imperial Hotel was a thankyou dinner from the organising commitee of a seminar I was participating in ... but for the most part I drank beer and ate noodles at a local noodle bar, had these strange breakfast rolls of mashed potato and shrimp, and ate in local sushi bar with my Japanese contact. I want to go back to Tokyo, and see more of Japan in total.

[mikec]

Never had a Virgin Mary? A Bloody Mary minus the booze. If made right they can be a great drink. I have also seen horseradish in a few Bloody Mary recipes.


token, can you give us a ballpark figure what that meal cost per person? Sounds simply amazing.

[masherscf]

Shit yes!

[Murphy1d]

I have also seen horseradish in a few Bloody Mary recipes.

I make a great Bloody Mary mix with horseradish, beef broth, tomato juice, and dashes and splashes of other stuff. The main ingredient..time. Let it sit for 2-3 days and its perfect. Sorry, don't really measure, just start mixing ingredients to taste.

[tokenuser]

token, can you give us a ballpark figure what that meal cost per person? Sounds simply amazing.Including top shelf sake it was i te order of $150-200 per person.

I have done wine paired degustation menus (muli course sampling menus) in the past as well, and they run to $100+ per head, but this was taking ti to another level.

And the most amazing thing on the menu? The appreciation for the preparation of the rice, which was served almost ceremoniously as a seperate course by itself.

getting rice perfect is an art

[bigshotprof]

Does it bother anyone that the condiment in question contains neither radishes nor horse?

[mikec]

I for one am glad it is not from a horse.... Might not consume as much as I do if it was.

I just wish I could remember Alton Brown's explanation of the name.

The traditional American "Yellow" Mustard - yeah gross.
But stoneground dijon or french style (not "Frenches")? Awesome - especially with ham or roast beef, or a little in with potato salad (see, a mayo connection).

Did you know mustard and horseradish are related (along with cabbage)?

Oh man, Horseradish Mustard! I can taste that right now.

I think that these things can taste a little bitter for those who are not used to it.

I hate cabbage also!

The only time I'll use mustard is if its on a cuban sandwich, or when I make corned beef. I use mustard and brown sugar to make a glaze on the brisket before I broil it.

Wife and I are not a fan of whole turkey, so we don't do the "thankgiving turkey". We bake a ham instead, and glaze it with pineapple juice, brown sugar, and seeded mustard. Really good.

Not gross if used only for what it meant for. For me that is on hot dogs or burgers. The rest of the time we use better styles. For me different mustards are used for different things. A good example is honey mustard. If you use it randomly it is not good, but on a roast beef sandwich, like a local deli does, it can be very good.

Even on a hotdog or a burger there are much better mustard choices.

That's not a drink, that's a meal.


I LOVE horseradhish. Freshly baked baguette with a bit horseradish and garlick - pure awesomeness.

[Artofwar420]

Oh, let's follow this train ;) Ham comes from pigs right? Well pigs are known to be as smart as dogs. Just throwing it out there. Not that I don't enjoy the delicious pork, it's just, once I learned that, I feel weird eating something with an intelligence similar to my own pet. I'd rather eat a turkey.

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/pigs/smart.html Here's a link, I think this is the documentary I watched.

Then again, sometimes I wish I was a vegetarian. Anyone got tips?

[tokenuser]

Then again, sometimes I wish I was a vegetarian. Anyone got tips?Got a tip? Yeah ... a rolled pork sholder roast, with crackling (crispy skin), apple sauce, scratch made gravy, roasted root vegies (spuds, carrots, parsnip, sweet potato, etc) is heaven on a plate.

Vegetarians don't know what they are missing out on.

"Oh - but we have tofurkey, and its made to look and taste like the real thing."

THEN WHY NOT EAT THE REAL THING.

"It inhumane."

Whatever. I grew up in the country. I know the deal.

I enjoy vegetables ... but we have both flat grinding teeth and point ones for a reason. Man is an omnivore.

[Artofwar420]

I eat meat, still, and I do get what you are saying, it's just... I think we should find better ways to enjoy meat without killing fluffy animals.

One day maybe.

[mikec]

I think we should find better ways to enjoy meat without killing fluffy animals.


Considering I have hobbies that have put me into the world of predators, I have no problem with eating meat. Let the bear or shark try. If they were to get me, good for them.

I do promise not to kill without eating the animal.

[Artofwar420]

Yeah, that's nature, we're born to do this.

[tokenuser]

I eat meat, still, and I do get what you are saying, it's just... I think we should find better ways to enjoy meat without killing fluffy animals.Pigs aren't fluffy they have bristly pokey hairs. Ditto beef. And noone can say a chicken is fluffy - it has feathers.

I'll make an exception for lamb ... because it is sooooooo tasty.

[rabidbadger]

I love lamb, but feel guilty, only have it rarely on a tasy gyro.

backtracking.
my fave mustard... (and I even know how to pronounce it, haha)

bani, "I LOVE horseradhish. Freshly baked baguette with a bit horseradish and garlick - pure awesomeness."

That sounds tasty. gonna try that.

[tokenuser]

That name looks familiar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kosciuszko) ...


I love lamb, but feel guilty, only have it rarely on a tasy gyro.Outback Steakhouse now serves REAL Australian beer Coopers and Tooheys Draught, and has a great roast rack of lamb. The lamb is the only reason to go there (and the beer, but not a huge Tooheys fan, and can get Coopers elsewhere).

I'm in full agreement with this statement. No qualms here.

[jaygeel93]

but other than that yes i also fully agree

sauce made from the tail of cocks.

[straylightrise]

its catsup and horseradish used as a condiment for seafood. DELICIOUS.

Discuss my usage of the word catsup:

[msmags]

Yes, it's great with Polish kelbasa. My fave. Kraft used to make this smooth kind (looked like mayo, but with kick!) but I think they discontinued it. :(

[Artofwar420]

Woah, I don't even want to picture this.

Depending on where you live and the quality of the supermarkets in your area you should be able to find some replacement.
