tonyf, Welcome to a2k. I didn't know that any restaurant gives the wasabi root with a grater to customers. That's really the best way to evaluate the freshness.
tonyf--
Thanks for The Definitive Answer--and welcome to A2K.
Seems like horseradish is more popular here, at least it is with me....
I only had wasabi once, didn't think it tasted at all like horseradish, and didn't like it.
Whoa, that nasal rush horseradish can give you.
Yeeeeee Haaaaaaa!
All time horseradish experts
BTW - can anyone tell me how to keep horseradish biting? You buy a jar, open it, and a week later it's dead.
Tomkitten, Are you sure you're buying the "real" stuff?
Most of the stuff sold in stores in a can have horseradish, but also includes mustard, cornstarch, and FD and C yellow No.5. Only the fresh root has the real punch.
c.i. - I get what the store has, usually Gold's, in a smallish jar. It doesn't list all kinds of filler, and is basically just horseradish with vinegar(?) and beet juice if I get the red, but it's still a pretty iffy proposition even when first opened. I tried grating my own, but you really need goggles and a mask. How people do it and survive is beyond me.
Can you use powdered hot yellow mustard? That stuff usuall stays hot.
osso, Thanks for that link; I added it to my Favorites.
Just remembered; Harry's Hofbrau has some real good horseradish on each table with two different kinds of mustard. Now, they really burn through your nose; I love it!
I love horseradish!
A spoon full of horseradish in any vegetable soup tastes so
good. Or a veal cutlet spread with horseradish, dipped in breadcrumbs and fried in the pan......
I am hungry now!
huh? just get an alternative sort of website..
It had to do with "food," so I thought it was related. he he he...
i wonder what c.i. has been smoking ? puff, puff, ahhh !
i wonder what c.i. has been smoking ?
...inhale deeply ... ahhhh !
Ya got some, hbg? Be right over.
seriously (HA, HA, HA !)., fromwhat i read inthe newspapers, canada is producing some rather choice stuff - is it the frosty air ?
eastern ontario has become well known for its outstanding production facilities - plenty of land - not too many people snooping around !
last year a "greenhouse" was found to be operating in a former brewery (i think it was labatt's !) in peterborough/ontario . the operators had rented the facility and according to the landlord paid their rent on time , all the time ! (they were model tenants !). hbg
Ya think labatt's beer has some weed in them? Have you noticed and uptick in sales of labatt's?
