Horseradish Sauce

[British Red]

I thought that this might entertain a few people on this cold and frosty day. Our latest YouTube video covers foraging and preparing a quintessentially English tracklement - Horseradish Sauce

One to do only with permission as it involves uprooting - but many of our friends are happy for us to take all we want as it spreads quickly!

Great vid, thanks

Horseradish is one of those classic highly invasive plants I've spent the last few years trying to grow without a huge amount of success. The plants grow here, but not that well, and they don't produce whopping big thongs. I have lived in places where it is a bit of a rampant pest.

I may have a furtle under one of a best looking plants to see if it's done any better this year. I do like a bit of 'orse radish.

I have Polish horseradish growing outside my back lane fence.
Free for all, dig up as much as you like, it will not die.
Just the smallest little glob on good roast beef is a singular taste found in nothing else.

Is Polish horseradish different - or just a different name?

I suspect that horseradish has been cultivated for so long (like garlic, olives and grapes) that I felt a named origin might some day have value.

One of the great condiments when home made, usually bloody awful when bought.
