I have no idea what Horseradish is........ UNTIL NOW
Question: What is horseradish? Why is horseradish hot?
Horseradish is not a radish, but it is spicy hot when fresh
Answer:
Horseradish is a root vegetable native to Russia or Hungary. Despite its name, it is unrelated to radishes. Horseradish is most widely used as a condiment, both by itself and as an ingredient in sauces and dressings. If you enjoy the pungency of bottled prepared horseradish, you simply must try it fresh to experience the full breath-taking flavor experience.
It is the volatile mustard-like oil in horseradish that brings tears to the eyes and heat to the tongue. Like mustard, the heat and fumes begin to rapidly deteriorate once the horseradish is cut or grated and exposed to air. Heat eliminates both aroma and zing which is why true horseradish afficionados prefer horseradish raw and freshly grated.
@Shaneyboo did you grow that horseradish in the op or is it just a photo from the net?

I've never tried it...... but I want to now thanks to this thread. Also I just looked it up to see if you can grow it here and what time of the year you should plant and guess what? Planting should be done in September, October and November. I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.
your welcome for opening your tastebuds to a world of burn.[DOUBLEPOST=1412334887][/DOUBLEPOST]

This is a weird coincidence for me - I was eating a burger tonight with beetroot on it, and we all know that is a very Australian/NZ thing, and it made me think - why is it an Aus/NZ thing? Beetroot isn't native to Australia. I know Eastern Europeans have it in Borscht (?sp). Apparently, it originated in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, but was mainly used for it's leaves and roots by the Greeks and Romans for medicinal and aphrodisiac purpose.
As for horseradish. Tastes great with Roast Beef.
Isn't Wasabi horseradish?
Tragic. I own this cd single.
