It has fat and calories by the time I pile it on a six inch tall reuben sandwich.
Man, do I love horseradish! It really gives a sandwich zest. And it’s terrific on prime rib.
OK, is it just coincidence that you posted this right before lunch? Now I’m hungry for some prime rib with creamy horseradish…
This website must be a front for some food industry association.
As the one guy who hates horseradish, allow me to offer you my share… I’ll take the prime rib though.
Easy to make your own cheap, tasty, horseradish sauce too. Keeps forever in the fridge. I like a thousand island base recipe with extra pickle and onion with horseradish.
Make my own pepper sauce for the same reason.
Now there’s something we can ALL (except for OhForTheLoveOf) agree on. Mmm-mmm GOOD!!
Here’s a hint:
I love good hot horseradish, and a little can go a long way. But, once bottled prepared horseradish has been opened, it starts to mellow fairly fast.
We discovered a solution:
Store opened jars of horseradish in the freezer. It helps to maintain the kick. To use it, just scrape out what you want with a knife and return it jar to the freezer.

I love horseradish. I’ll celebrate at the Russian Vodka Room here in NYC. They’ve got a lot of infused vodkas, including a really good horseradish one. Yes. I know it sounds bad. But, if you do like horseradish, it actually is very good.
And as an extra added bonus, it’ll clean out those sinuses in a hurry! Now send over that prime rib with OFTLO’s extra horseradish!! Cheese, it’s even good fresh grated on a ballpark hot dog.
#5, Bobbo, sounds good! See link below. 🙂

Eideard, you live in the land of some of the best chiles. NM red chiles and horseradish combined with a few other ingredients makes a mean sauce. Pendery’s (since 1870) here in DFW imports ’em fresh or dried from NM. When is that next NM chile festival?
If you like hot sauce or chiles, here’s a link to Pendery’s, they ship in the US:

Adding horseradish to a Bloody Mary give it a nice zing.
er, gives it rather…
#8, Scott,
One of the advantages of living in a large cosmopolitan city are the truly delicious foods one may sample from around the world. One of the bigger reasons I miss Toronto.
Here in the boonies, I can’t even find a half decent horseradish. As much as I love horseradish, I’m not going all the way to Chicago for some.
Enjoy your infusion (I like that word) and think of me next time you have one. Think of all of us in the Mid-West hinterland.
#12 – Dude… I’ll go to Chicago for you… and since I don’t like horseradish, you know I won’t eat it on the way back
#12, Mr. Fusion, ever tried these guys? They ship and they’re pretty good.

I live in the Horseradish capitol of the world. Collinsville, Illinois. Its 10 miles away from St. Louis. We have a weekend long horseradish festival to celebrate the root. Interestingly , we also have the worlds largest catsup bottle (in the form of a water tower). Damn, who knew that Collinsville was such a cool place to live! 🙂
BubbaRay – the Hatch Chile Festival is pretty much always Labor Day Weekend. Truly the best way to get a lot of the small town flavor [pun intended] down in the Chile growing region.
Folks grow about 200 varieties in and around Hatch.
Thoughout NM, of course, you can usually buy a couple dozen varieties in just about any market or grocery store. Folks would throw rocks at a store that didn’t carry ’em.
Nice to see someone in TX who can spell “chile” btw.
Eideard, “you can usually buy a couple dozen varieties in just about any market or grocery store.”
Yes, they’re all over here too, but just not as good as the ones straight from NM. You can’t make really great chile without grinding your own powder from freshly dried NM reds. Central Market in DFW gets a huge batch of reds from NM every Sept. Yay!
Maybe I’ll go crazy this winter and try adding a touch of fresh horseradish just to see what it does. Thanks for the Hatch info!
#8, Scott, I’d like to try that ‘radish infused vodka. Unless you have an asbestos tongue, stay away from the Habenero vodka ❗
#17 – BubbaRay,
Sure, take a trip to NYC. Let me know when you’re coming. As for the habernaro, I like spicy, but not THAT spicy. I haven’t seen anyone make that vodka infusion yet. They have a garlic and dill … tastes like drinking pickle juice. Most of the rest of their infusions are sweet, various berries, apple, pear, etc.
#12 – Mr. Fusion,
Thanks for another excuse to go to the RVR. Will do. It sounds like you need to move. Consider NYC. If you can get past the real estate sticker shock, it’s a great place to live. We’ve got all the advantages of living in one of the world’s great cities and a lot of good natural areas nearby for day or longer trips.
I love horseradish.
Nobody mentioned my favorite version, though… wasabe.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
Tuna roll with sliced ginger and a huge blob of wasabe. That’s some fine eatin’.
#20, venom monger, We’ll all get some of Scott’s horseradish infused vodka for a deluxe martini and some of your fine ahi tuna sashimi with great wasabe! Brings a tear to me eye. Literally. 🙂
Takeru Kobayashi, the six-time defending Nathan’s hot dog eating champion, could be out of competition next week because of an ailment—an aching jaw.
So I thought, how about a horseradish eating contest. A horseradish race. Less chewing.
#22 – Jim,
Horseradish eating contest … interesting. And, for dessert, a halvah eating contest.
