Horseradish

[ameridaddy]

We don't care for most store bought shrimp cocktail sauce because most of them are too sweet, often containing molasses. Sounds weird, but read the label. When we steam shrimp, we make our own sauce with Heinz catsup, some fresh squeezed lemon juice and add horseradish, stir, taste, add horseradish, stir, taste, etc. until it tastes just right - some fire but not too much, tangy, not sweet, mmmmm good!

I would rather eat dirt than horseradish.

Pape's Horseradish from Punxsutawney, PA. Great on gifelte fish.
Our local supermarket has horseradish cheese in its deli. Put it in a sandwich with sliced turkey and grill the sandwich in a cast iron skillet.

2 years ago i finally planted some horseradish.
i should have done that years ago.
once i planted it, i needed to do nothing at all until i harvested some.
it rivals wild mint for no work gardening.

what is gifelte fish?
i've run across it reading, but know nothing about it.
is it worth having it shipped in?

Beaver extra hot horseradish is the best store stuff I have found.....
I tried to grow some, didn't work out well.....

 

[rwsmith]

No, not exactly weird......

But if you put in more than enough to get some heat and flavor you are a glutton for punishment.

But if people eat those 'Burning Death' peppers, how weird can one be?

i didn't realize that horseradish and roast beef was a 'thing' until about 20 years ago. In Arbies you can barely taste the horseradish is at all.

Gifelte fish is derived from carp and is a mainstay in Jewish cuisine. Carp are pond raised over in Israel. I don't know how the carp meat is processed into gifelte fish but I remember it being pretty good when I had it years ago.

I started in the VFD in 1974.......we had four bull and oyster roasts a year back then....... and horseradish was definitely used on both!!!!!!

Can't even imagine prime rib without horseradish. Roast beef, you bet.

Some different things are horseradish and butter on crackers and H/R in my tuna fish.
The are three horseradish events in my life I regret. First is that I planted a couple roots in the corner of an 8'x8' raised garden and within 3 seasons it had completely taken over. Second is that I ground some roots in an enclosed garage and was overwhelmed by the fumes. It took me quite a while to recover from it. The third and most regretful was that I used my wife's brand new blender to grind those roots. Try as I might the smell was not coming out. The blender ended up at the curb. But for the grace of God, I did not join it curbside. Please learn from my mistakes.

Jezebel sauce--orange marmalade mixed with horseradish. Spread cream cheese on a cracker, top it with the sauce, and forget all other horse's doovers.

Horseradish on good corned beef or pastrami is at least as good as it is on roast beef.

A little with prime rib is wonderful.

Even Arby's is good if you put horseradish on it.

FWIW, I've heard most of what passes for wasabi in this country is actually horseradish.

A friend gave me a jar of homemade horseradish to go with my corned beef and cabbage this past St. Patrick's Day. His family tradition. It was delicious.

Slather a mess of it on some thick slabs of cold roast beef, wedged between a split sourdough roll with a slice of tomato, a couple of slices of Bermuda onion, and a slice of sharp cheddar, and you've got a sandwich that's worth writin' home about.

That right there with the leftover meatloaf works fine.
I love how the real horsey practically dissolves in the hot meat juices.

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.
Manischewitz is probably the best known, and uses a blend of whitefish and pike. See, e.g.,

It's a traditional food served at the Passover Seder, but a lot of people like it year-round because it tastes great, is high protein, low fat, and low calorie. It is great with horseradish -- either the stuff dyed red with beet juice, or, the white kind.

These days, with shipping so easy, it's worth it to get it shipped in. If you don't like it, your cat will. The top of the line product comes from an outfit called Russ and Daughters, on Houston Street in New York. They will ship it to you fresh, on dry ice, and it is superb. Many people know about Zabars in New York, but when it comes to Jewish style smoked and prepared fish, Russ and Daughters cannot be surpassed.

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.

I don't know about you all, but.........

now and then I get a horseradish craving.

Yep. I'm on kick now where I use Horseradish sauce in place of almost all condiments on sandwiches. (Ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo).

Hope I don't tire of it before the squeeze bottle goes empty.

Obviously you all have omitted a good dose of horseradish on a peanut butter sandwich.

And for another taste treat concerning a lowly peanut putter sandwich add sliced dill pickle.
