Horseradish
« on: September 23, 2008, 04:53:24 PM »
 rubschin:  What's it got to do with horses then, eh?

I've recently found that a generous dollop into the spud & parsnip mash adds an original piquancy, specially on pies such as Cottage or Shepherd  cloud9:

Other than that, what d'yer do with it?  Other than spicing up a slice of morbidly boring roast beef, obviously.

Goes well with salmon  whistle:

As for why is it called horseradish ~ have you ever seen it pulled from the ground?

I have an enduring memory of wasabi on the quayside at Pusan, S.Korea, trying some sashimi from a fisherwoman stallholder...  thatsit:

To make matters worse, a local fisherman came to the rescue with his family recipe saké ...  eeek:  I have never felt closer to exploding.

Err.... no. Not the sort of thing we do around here, mostly. Is it a bit whiffy?

No. The root which when grated creates the stuff we make into horseradish sauce resembles a horse's dick.
However it was said in jest. There are many theories as to why it has the name. Wiki list several.

"Tomato chutney pork Bangers & Spud 'n' Pony Dick mash"

You know, you might have something there...  rubschin:

I use a tsp of horseradish in the yorkshire pudding mix, also when making smoked mackerel pate, a tsp lifts that a treat too

Wasn't "Pony Dick" Snoopys stage name in those 60's films?


On topic, a spec of horseradish on smoked salmon or any cooked tuna dish adds some zest as well.
