Horseradish

[Golddollar]

Gefilte fish is a blend of finely chopped white fish, usually Northern pike, and salmon (or carp, which is traditional, or another mild white fish) that is blended with herbs, shaped into oblong pieces about three inches long, and boiled until cooked through, then chilled and eaten. There are many variations, depending on who your Jewish grandmother was, but it is available commercially.

P.S.: "Gefilte" (pronounced, geh-FIL-teh) is a Yiddish word and means "chopped." When my daughter was small and asked where gefilte fish came from, I told her, "from Lake Gefilte, of course." I will suffer mightily for that one, I am sure.

Thank you for the information on gefilte fish and the link to suppliers. It sounds like something that I should be eating.

Pape's Horseradish is made by a family in Punxsutawney, PA. I went to school with the niece of the maker. It definitely will add a kick to gefilte fish or anything else.

Jezebel Sauce

1 small jar apple jelly (about 10 oz)
1 small jar pineapple preserves (about 10 oz)
2 TBSP dry mustard
1 (5-ounce) jar prepared horseradish
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper

Combine all ingredients and stir well. Cover and refrigerate.

Dump over a block of cream cheese and spread on Sociable or Triscut crackers. Oh yeah!

Ah horseradish, been know to indulge.

Actually its one of my favorite food enhancers. I have had a bunch over the years, the hotter the better. Here is a little story from about 1998. Mrs Lakesider and I were in the Canadian side of Niagara Falls for a few days. We went into this restaurant for dinner, I THINK the name was the Beef Baron. It was a rather interesting place and they had traditional beef dishes on the menu. They did have prime ribs up to 40 ounces with prices on the menu. They also would cut you any thing bigger that you wanted and you paid by weight!

I ordered a standard 30 ouncer and of course I ordered horseradish for it. Our rather friendly waitress brought out dinner with just to me little bit of HR in a side dish. I told her that was not enough. She then told me with a smile try it first and use just a tiny amount as this is probably the strongest HR in the world.

Well I took her advice about small and all I could say was WOW. It had a very good taste but was the strongest I ever encountered before or after. A great dinner.

my grandpa Loved horseradish.

After my first taste of whatever that stuff is 50 years ago, I never again had that craving............

I love it on both beef and pork sandwiches. I make a sauce with HR, sour cream, and a little worcestershire. I use just enough HR to give it a little bite. Wonderful stuff!

I like the Inglehoffer Cream Style I get at Walmart. Am I messing up?

My wife and I love horseradish on any cut of pork.

Good prepared horseradish is fantastic on/in so many things. My favorite is with a cornbeef & pastrami sammich.. I even put some on the latke!
Garlic/horseradish (or wasabi ) mashed potatoes are divine.
Horseradish sauce with prime rib, beef tenderloin, roast beef, roast pork loin, etc is absolutely necessary.
Fresh oysters with a dash O' Tabasco. Oh Ya!

I can't remember if it's the Ashkenazi or Sephardim who sweeten it, but I can't handle that version. I love the unsweetened. And while Ive never tried it with horseradish, I certainly will now.

Sorry, contributed to the drift.

thank you, thread drifters.
i wanted to know about gefilte fish. i've just ordered some, to test with my horseradish.
new foods are fun, fun, fun.

 

[susieqz]

here's something you guys won't believe.
THE HEAT IS NOT ESSENTIAL.
yup, my home grown is milder but has more horseradish taste.
even better, i can really pile it on in huge amounts so i get even more horseradish taste.
i grew up with horseradish, so the more taste the better.
i've had some that was so hot you could only add a little, so you got all heat but little horseradish taste.
i felt gyped.

My exposure to horseradish is limited to Grey Poupon Country Dijon mustard, where it serves well. I had some with salmon today.

 

[susieqz]

star, you gotta try horseradish on beef. they were made for each other.

Good on ya susieqz!

It is better served chilled. Take the pieces out of the jar, carefully so you don't break them, put one or two on a side plate (on top of or next to a leaf of leaf or Boston lettuce or watercress), and put it in the fridge for a couple of hours before you serve it. I put a dollop of horseradish on the side of the plate.

Being Polish you start using horseradish as soon as you can eat kielbasa. Well yesterday I picked mine up along with the hand cut kielbasa that the same family has made 100 years or more. Boy this comes with no label and when you open and your nose gets a whiff your eyes water. As this family only makes both 2 times a year.

Just dug up about a 5 lb root. Gave about 1/2 away to my office==surprised how many 2 took pieces=one to grow ad one to grind. Still have 1/2 the root for myself and another clump about 3' in diameter.

I planted a mess of it just outside the mule pasture, close to my tack shed. Believe me, just making up a batch of that stuff cleans your sinuses out for a good month and a half!

The stuff grows like a weed. My neighbor had some in his garden for a few years. It's been fallow for about 5 years now, but the horse radish was still growing last summer.
