The question is; is it a rampageous spreader I would regret letting loose in the garden, or should it be held captive (perhaps in a large buried pot)? Janer 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! Peter LOL! You forgot the eye protection, did you?! It's good for clearing out the sinus, though ;~). but not to be sniffed at. Wimpish Germans put salt on horse radish, this decreases the fiery effect. I never knew that! I put salt on most (savoury) things, so I'm now wondering if that makes me a wimp ...? Try a tiny dab of salt on melon. It brings the flavour out wonderfully. and sugar on tomatoes makes them taste like strawberries, or so I am told. I haven't tried that because I hope they'll have enough lovely sun-ripened sweetness of their own. Yes, I am an optimist! Ime, once you have horseradish you've got it and that's that! For years, I had it coming up in the middle of a flower bed and never did get rid of it, try as I might! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
