Dug up some horseradish this afternoon, and ground up a batch. Made a roast beef sandwhich with horseradish on it for lunch tomarrow. Anyone else grow it?
 
The older fellas used to collect wild horseradish down by the creek. I never learned to identify it otherwise I would make some. It's hard to get good true horseradish in the store. I seem to be the only one in the family that cares for it. But what's beef on weck with out it?- just another boring sandwich thats what!
 
We have a patch and put up some every yr. We moved it from mom s when they put up a new house and there were sprouts come up all over the yard for a few yrs. after all the doving and grading .

Love the horseradish, especially real HOT!!
I've heard it said that planting potatoes in an old horseradish bed or among the horseradish keeps the soil clean of potato diseases, even apparently the blights. I'd like to try that sometime but I'll need to get more horseradish planted. Heck, it might even act as an anti-bacterial for one's hands.
 
Sounds great Jay. I love horseradish.
I don't generally like hot, peppery foods but I like HR so hot that it peels the top of your scalp off.
FWIW, HR was one of the 7 bitter herbs that the Israelites were told to eat the night of the Passover.
I always thought that was a little joke on God's part - if they were expecting merely bitter they were in for a Big surprise.
 
Most proably know this, be CAREFULL were you plant it. I dident know any better and planted it in my garden, well I have not been able to get rid of it. Rototilling in the spring chops up the roots and it keeps spreading. Make sure you plant HR outside you vegie garden. Or you'll have a mess on your hands. LOL J
 
I wonder if HR is a "northern thing". Don"t see it much down here in the south except with red sauce for shrimp.

My dad was from Indiana and he introduced us to HR. I like it on hamburgers, etc, but you just don"t see it used much down here.
 
I agree Nancy - it must be a Northeren/Eastern thing. Take a swath from MN to MD and that's where you'll usually find it in resturaunts. Years ago when I was trucking OTR I could never find it south or west of here.
 
I live about 30 miles from Collinsville, IL.(St. Louis area). This is suppose to be the horseradish growing capital of the United States. They claim that they grow over half of the horseradish in the U.S..
 
I worked with a Mexican fellow,nice guy,anyhow after work we stopped at a bar one of the guys had ordered a jar of Royal Bohemian Nitro Hto H.R. sause so we decided to sample the goods the barkeep set us up with some little pretzle rods well that wasnt good enough for sanchez,he said Im Mexican,and I live on hot stuff,give me a spoon so I can get a good taste,well the bartender gave him a big old spoon and he proceds to dig out a big pile of H.R. and stick it in his mouth....and out the door he went he came back in gasping and choking and lookin like he had been hit with teargas,and he said What the heck was that stuff , us white guys got a bit more respect after he got some white folks hot food
 
I was out walking a stream bed last week with a customer assessing it's Hydro potential. We ran across a very large patch of horseradish. He is going to go back and dig some of it. He told me He would give me some plants when I go back next week. I will plant it in a small raised bed in the garden.
 
I remember the first meal my girlfriend made me when we were "courtin'". Roast beef, still red and barely warm in the middle; Brocolli, still crunchy; and horseradish slathered over the beef. I wasn't particularly fond of crunchy brocolli, disliked really rare beef, and positively hated horseradish.

She gradually developed a taste for more appropriately cooked foods, but still loves horseradish. I still hate horseradish (but love hot Mexican stuff). The compromise has apparently worked- we'll celebrate 40 years in February.
