hot horseradish sauce recommendations needed
Discussion
Living in Canada, the choice of horseradish sauce is watered down, creamy mild stuff with none of the tear-inducing, nostril burning power of a proper British product. I have probably tried 20 different bottles here...all marked "hot", which is like a Smart ForTwo being labelled 'fast'.
I even bought some at the Borough Market in London last time I was there, but it was weak compared to the stuff I used to get when I lived there years ago. Does anyone have a brand that will do the job?............

If you can find fresh horseradish in the US anywhere make some yourself. Heres a recipe to get you started.

I've got a bottle of that in the cupboard. It's tasty enough, but the op is going to be disappointed with it if they want serious heat (which I think they do).Thanks for the info...am less interested in the pepper sauces than in true horseradish..the old fashioned kind. Will try the recipe, though the radishes here also seem to have been emasculated into something dangerously bland. Used to be you could buy it anywhere.Maybe tastes have changed.

In farm shops here in the UK you can sometimes find a jar of grated horseradish. Failing that you can grow them; they look like fat parsnips.
Meantime here's a recipe from 'Modern Cookery Illustrated' (c.1930) when men were men:
1 horseradish
1 gill milk
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon made mustard
1 saltspoon salt
sprinkling of pepper
1 tablespoon vinegar
Clean and scrape the horseradish, grate it finely. Mix well with the milk, sugar, mustard and pepper. Stir in the vinegar last of all. Leave until cold and serve.
HTH.

You forgot the part about your eyes bleeding when grating the radish!! Meantime here's a recipe from 'Modern Cookery Illustrated' (c.1930) when men were men:

2 teaspoons white sugar

1 saltspoon salt
