I've never even tried to make it since some popped up in a flowerbed long
ago. Just trying (and failing) to get it all dug out nearly took my head
off. I realised then and there that making my own was never going to be an
option for me. It's wonderful with warm beef sandwiches, though. Or cold
beef, or hot roast beef..... ;-)


Its rather good with smoked mackeral too! allthough I stick to the
planting advice I was given many years ago when asking where I should
plant it "In someone elses garden" was the reply!


Yes, the smoked mackerel option is a classic, though I don't like it. Ray
loves it, even prefers it to smoked salmon. Love the last remark - it's
reminiscent of "when's the best time to take cuttings? When the owner isn't
looking"!


We've got one here, though not about gardening. Visitors are often
worried for the safety of the sweet little lambs gambolling on the grass
beside the unfenced roads. "Don't they get run over?". "Not until
they're big enough" is the answer!

Returning to horseradish, we grated ours and put it in jars in vinegar.
Then when we want some, we take a spoonful or two and mix it with single
cream.
