What did you cook or eat today (May 2025)?

Braised, Spanish spiced pork cubes on romesco. Patatas bravas, ate mine plain, Craig dipped in romesco. Spanish green beans and garlic, with some mushrooms that were leftover and getting ready to go bad.

Yep - I've actually got to taste some of the real thing in Caracas, of all places.
Very green, and very hot!
Never did trust google...or stickypedia :laugh: :laugh:
I was told that Wasabi is actually milder than horseradish by a fair amount.
But like all of these things it depends on what you mix it with it what concentration.

I wouldn't want to eat either wasabi or horseradish unadulterated! 😆

We've had both fresh. Obviously, the horseradish is much, much larger than the wasabi plant, at least what's commercially available here. Both are pretty potent when you put your nose to them or taste freshly grated. I personally wouldn't do either test with either plant again. Once was enough.

I will NEVER forget the first time we used fresh horseradish. We were making homemade worchestershire and need a large quantity grated. Craig decided to do it with a box grater. The whole house smelled like horseradish, even upstairs, and has face was dripping tears by the time he got done. We used the KitchenAid grater attachment next time. Get it done fast and in a sealed container!

I bought some fresh horseradish at a grocer before and it wasn't much until you got to a 'fresh layer'! It was like getting hit in the face with nerve gas. 😭 Since I paid for it I used it but it took a while...

I’ve bought it twice but the second time I remember thinking URGH why have you bought this again?! 😂
