Years ago, we could buy horseradish that would literally "knock your socks off!" One small dab of horseradish was the best decongestant around. Now, I think the horseradish industry has gone soft. We have tried every make and type in order to recreate the experience that made our hair stand on end, made us speechless, and made our eyes water. Just thinking about it has cleared my sinuses.

Time to make my own?

If there's any truth to that, it's better kept secret. Thanks for sharing the link to the Horseradish Information Council. The website mentions that Silver Spring is one of 6 horseradish processors in the Council, which is "working together to broaden the appeal and increase year-round usage of commercially processed horseradish and related products."

Further googling said that it's a root that only grows if fertilized by horses. I'm sure I just ruined it for everyone. I apologize.

On the other end, there's Mahi Mahi, which is about as redundant as it gets. Horseradish Mustard falls in the middle. It might be semi-redundant, although I'm not sure if that applies when two foods are related, but one is not part of the immediate family.
