You like horseradish?

[Archae]

On the History Channel's "Food Tech" they showed how they make horseradish.

Guy ate a little spoonful, I could see his eyes water up. :D

[Inchworm]

1. Love love love it

:9

[Archae]

3. My Dad and BIL are like that too.

They just love horseradish.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

2. I love horseradish too

But what the fuck is the "History" channel doing with a show about food?

[cmd]

4. Love it!

Don't enjoy grinding it up. That is one powerful root.

[femmocrat]

5. I made it once. Once was enough.

I used to love it, but can't eat it anymore.

[Catshrink]

15. My mom used to talk about making it when she was a kid.

She loved the stuff, I couldn't take it. Peppers, yes, horseradish, no.

[Swede]

6. It goes great with roast beef or sausages.

Great condiment.

[crim son]

7. I absolutely love it.

One of my favorite salads involves a couple tins of beets and a bottle of horseradish.

[TK421]

45. Another reason I love you so...

:D we have the same tastes!

[crim son]

47. I wasn't aware you loved me so.

How nice! :) :loveya:

[TK421]

48. I'm a dummy when it comes to making something like that known, but yeah

:hug: you bet I do

[crim son]

49. Well, I thank you.

Few do.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. No. Yuk.

[miscsoc]

9. why would anyone say such a thing? nt.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Because I really hate horseradish.

I don't *have* to like it, do I?

[miscsoc]

12. yes >:(

one day you will understand. it's really tasty and a decent human being really should like horseradish

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. Considering that I'm pretty old and have been exposed to the damn stuff

over and over for decades, it's doubtful I'll ever learn to like it. It tastes to me like some kind of corrosive chemical, maybe something you'd strip paint with. Sorry if I'm not a decent human being.

[miscsoc]

17. how dare you

compare the queen of beef condiments to paint stripper. I fear you are beyond hope.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. Probably.

May I offer you a thick slice of rare prime rib with a dab of Zip-Strip?

[miscsoc]

20. what is zip strip?

does it contain horseradish y/n

key issue

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. I don't think horseradish is involved, but I wouldn't be able to tell.

:rofl:

[miscsoc]

24. it's non flammable

so horseradish probably isn't in the ingredient list

because horseradish is deliciously flammable

nom

[Gormy Cuss]

43. I love horseradish

and I like The Velveteen Ocelot because of posts like these
:hi:

[Archae]

16. It's just too strong for me.

The flavor isn't bad, but it's just too strong.

[miscsoc]

18. or are you too weak for IT

a deep thought, meditate upon it

[pokerfan]

11. make it every fall

definitely outdoor work.

[Ikonoklast]

13. Absolutely.

A must-have condiment at our house.

[Odin2005]

21. Horseradish = AWESOME.

[Mojambo]

23. Won't eat a sandwich without it.

Sometimes I'll skip the mayo and just go with HR.

Awwwwesome stuff.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

25. Gimme Arby's Horsey Sauce

It's to die for.

[GoCubsGo]

39. I get cravings for that stuff sometimes...

And, I haven't eaten at Arby's in at least 15 years. I may have to go just to get some horsey sauce.

[kimi]

26. Love love love horseradish

and will try to grow it this year although I know that it's supposed to be an invasive vegetable/herb. Like many good things, it must be taken in moderation. But whoo-boy, nuthin better to clear the sinuses! And make you weep like a baby whose rattle was stolen.

Now I hafta go downstairs to the fridge and find some to snort.

[alphafemale]

27. Love it and wasabi

The quick flash of heat is much different than a pepper type of heat.

I like peppers too but the horseradish type heat is a quick flash and gone.

[MiddleFingerMom]

28. The best bar in the world...

.
... is about 20 miles NNW of Philadelphia in the rural suburbs.
.
Once a year, a local would grind up a bunch of horseradish and
bring a big tub of it into the bar.
.
The bar kept a couple of crockpots going and sold cheap CHEAP
roast beef sandwiches until the horseradish lost it's "dangerous"
edge (if I remember right -- repeated exposure to air tempered
the punch-in-the-sinuses quality it had -- took about 1-2 weeks).
.
LOVE horseradish with beef. Don't remember if I actually needed
a whole pinky fingernail's worth of this evil lusciousness when
they first unleashed it on the oh-so-suspecting and oh-so-eager
community every year.
.
.
.
.
.
Now that I think of it... I don't think ANY of the regulars had
head colds during those times, either. Kicked viral ass, it did.
.
Opened up your sinuses BIGTIME. If you were the type to do coke,
you had to scale WAY back when snorting... as an oz would almost
certainly be vacuumed up with even the meekest of sniffles.
.
.
Now that I think of THAT... I think our local dealer used to be
the one who brought in the horseradish.
.
Geez... THAT'S brilliant marketing strategy.
.

29. Ted Danson eats a wasabi ball in "Made In America"

THAT is funny!

[MiddleFingerMom]

31. Lightweight!

.
Once, at summer camp, I had dropped trou to apply some Ben-Gay to my upper
thighs. A momentary lapse of focus... a truly horrific misapplication -- and I
had TWO wasabi balls.
.
The two counselors present were on the floor -- helpless at the sight of me
running bow-legged round and round and round and round the cabin, trying
to create as much of a breeze as possible.

30. Love, love it....

[TK421]

32. Love it, and this stuff is the best

http://www.kelchnershorseradish.com/

a while back someone posted a thread about mustard, and this brand has the best hot mustard anywhere

[EOTE]

34. That's fantastic stuff.

I tried that mustard at the Mustard Museum in Wisconsin and was hooked instantly. It's about the best compliment to a roast beef sandwich I could think of. Mustard and horseradish were meant to go together.

[TK421]

35. Indeed...a marriage made in heaven!

:)

edited to add: I used to live two blocks from the Kelchners factory in Dublin, P.A ( 1990-95 ). It is all we buy, and the hottest ( and freshest ) horseradish you can find

[CBR]

33. Horseradish is wonderful... nt

[mcollins]

36. horseradish mustard on bratwurst.

to die for.

[greencharlie]

37. nasty, yuck. nt

[bif]

38. Yep. I make my own.

[hippywife]

40. Yep.

Best thing to ever happen to roast beast. :9

Hubs won't eat it, though, unless it's mixed into something like cocktail sauce.

[Phentex]

52. Love it on roast beef sandwiches or beef tenderloin...

okay any beef really! I can tone it down by mixing it with other things and that's how my kids will eat it.

[trof]

41. Love it. My first horseradish memory:

Grandpa took me downtown to Jeb's Seafood restaurant on Saturday.
Just me and him.
I was around 7 or 8.
He introduced me to the proprietor, 'Mr. Jebelese', a Greek gentleman.
Grandpa knew just about everybody in 1940's Birmingham.

We were shown to a booth.
There was a small jar of some kind of white stuff on the table.
Grandpas said "Here, Buddy. Smell THIS!"
And thrust it under my nose.
I took a BIG whiff and tears came to my eyes.
He and Mister Jebelese laughed.

They weren't being cruel.
Just having a little fun with me.
I didn't eat any of it on that day, but I came to love it.

[Blue-Jay]

42. How much horse do I need to mix with radish?

Because radishes are hard to grow around here. The raccoons keep eating them.

[TK421]

46. All you need to know is here

http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/herb/growing-horseradish-how-to-grow-horseradish.htm





no horses are harmed in this process...so you know

[Schema Thing]

44. Love it.

[arod_5450]

50. nope. revolting stuff

[sakabatou]

51. Ugh, no.

[Bryn]

53. On a date at a fancy restaurant I mistook horseradish for sour cream on baked potato

Wow! I blasted off!

[MiddleFingerMom]

56. You probably TERRIFIED your date...

.
"Geez... just LOOK at her tolerance for horseradish!!! She is some kinda FREAK!!!"
.
At least until he/she realized that it was a mistake.
.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

54. yes. love it.

:9

[gfreeman-550]

55. no. hate that stuff, yuck

[NuttyFluffers]

57. yes. eat it by the spoonful. wasabi or the white stuff for steaks, doesn't matter.

and i eat pickled ginger by the fistful. love horseradish and mustard crunchy peas. love chili peppers. now i love raw onions, garlic, and ginger.

... i think i should mix a big batch of diced raw onions, garlic, ginger, horseradish, mustard, and chili peppers into a delicious paste. i wonder what would happen if i brushed my teeth with it.

:think: :9

oooh, i can just imagine the orgasmic follow-up of drinking a perfectly chilled Coca Cola right after, where the bubbles burn ever so sweetly and the released carbon dioxide rolls up into an air pocket and comes out my back palate and out my nose as a gust of burning gas...
