Hi Thomas et al,
horse radish sauce is a standard accompaniment to roast beef in the
British Isles and in Australia.
Seldom prepared from scratch alas it is usually a commercial product.
A very hot Japanese horse radish (Daikyo ?) sauce is now appearing in
sushi restaurants. My first wife thought it was avocado based guacamole
and ended in convulsions. Be warned.

Thanks for jogging my memory.
Last July I enjoyed the best coleslaw ever at Panser's deli in Toronto.
Horseradish was a major ingredient and I can never really enjoy
pastrami again after Panser's superb home made version.

Interesting.  The Russian word for horseradish is "khren" (хрен).  "Khren"
is also commonly used in Russian as a euphemism for another "kh-" word, the
slang term for a certain part of the male anatomy.

Guess what I say while stopping at a European deli on my way home last
night, Tom (Byro)!  Cans of herring in creamy horseraddish sauce, two German
brands!  I bet you can get them not only at German delis but at Russian ones
as well.  At least that's how it's at this side of the country.

Reinhard/Ron
