Good evening,
On Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:21:52 +0100, Stephen Wolstenholme wrote: Salt makes taste sensitivity low. Not of Bavarian origin, I may not be an expert on the question of “salt on horseradish” but I deem it probable that you mix up horseradish (Meerrettich) and radish (Rettich). To explain the difference, I may cite Rowan Atkinson from one of his better sketches, as the latter of both is rather “medium-spiced” and not really “fing” hot. Radish with a little salt on bread and butter has a quality of its own. It is not the same without the salt, but you can easily overdo it, especially if this really delicious sandwich is accompanied by a fresh beer of any arbitrary small brewery. I want to mix horseradish instead with the «Crème Crue» (one kind of Crème Fraiche), that we buy from a local farmer here in Lower Normandy to accompany salads and the occasional barbecue.

In fact it is you who do. Sorry, but he is right. The Bavarians do serve spiral cut horseradish in beer halls and beer gardens, not spiral cut radishes. http://www.muenchen.de/int/en/restau...r-gardens.html That statement on that page is wrong. Probably an error when translated from German to English. The spiral cut thing served as 'Radi' in bavarian beer gardens is always a big white radish, nerver ever a horseradish. Zefix! Matthias |
