Something we enjoy a lot with beef, beetroot etc. So, I acquired a

The question is; is it a rampageous spreader I would regret

loose in the garden, or should it be held captive (perhaps in a large
buried pot)?

Mmm .. great stuff! I doubt it will ever take over the world, despite
its WMD status, but it is a tasty thug best confined to a large pot.

I stopped growing it the day I lifted a root and grated it to make a
sauce to accompany a roast joint of beef.

Never, ever again. It makes onions benign in comparison. People who
grow this stuff should be reported as an environmental hazard!

I remember grated horseradish being on the table in a German restaurant.
My mate thought it was cheese and decided a sandwich would be nice.....



Er... it doesn't *smell* a lot like cheese. Mind you, he'll probably
never know now. His nose, eyes and taste buds will be certifiably
uselesss. Poor man!
