Just made my first batch of...

Horseradish. Grew them for the first time this year. Darn near burned my face off looking into the top of the blender to make sure everything was chopped up enough. Mace doesn't have anything over horseradish for making you want to be anywhere other than where you are.:D Sure does taste good though. Just have to find me some good roast beef to go with it.;)

Oh that sounds wonderful, a couple of months ago I had one horrendous head cold.....I ordered spring rolls with that hot Chinese mustard....Oh did that feel good, I think if I would have had your concoction I would have lived off of it....

My hat's off to you folks, I'm of Scandanavian decent - salt & pepper is hot stuff to us.

Classic, when I grew up I worked in the horseradish fields near East St Louis, Illinois (One of only two places where it was grown commercially then).

Let me tell you how quickly one learned to not nick a radish root while hoeing weeds - especially in that 95 degree, 99 percent humidity Illinois summer air! Cutting a root was like getting hit with a blast of tear gas.

I love the stuff, though.

Try my recipe for pot roast some time...

Brown a roast thoroughly in oil. Remove and coat the top completely with a quarter-inch layer of ground horseradish(not the creamed junk - REAL grated root). More is better! Return the roast to a heavy pot, add an inch of water, the potatoes, carrots and onions. Simmer until done (45 - 60 minutes).

The horseradish will caramelize to a sweet, slightly tangy layer you'll eat like candy, believe it or not.

Classic, that is mouthwatering, (as well as eye watering.)
