Default Horseradish in the UK

Sorry to laugh at you Jim, but that is funny!

Reminds me of the time my wife was doing up some habs for powder in the
blender.

She then put creme on her face. An hour or so later, she could open her
eyes again.

John!

If your intention is to make horseradish
sauce then be careful. Grating the roots will make your eyes sting very
badly.



The first time I grated my homegrown, I used a blender. A little
vinegar, a little sugar, a lot of root - and off I went.

Then I took off the top and sniffed. . . . and landed on the floor.

It was as if the fumes sucked all the oxygen out of my body. Now
I open the blender at arm's length and check the heat and fineness in
a spoon.
