The very first item I set out to find over a year ago.
It was an episode of Come Dine with Me that provided the seed of inspiration. One of the contestants went outside his house and pulled a huge root of horseradish from out of the roadside. I thought..."Cool...Free Food!". The rest is history...
Unfortunately Horseradish proved to be rather elusive, and it wasnt until August of this year that I finally discovered some. Like a lot of things - it was right under my nose all that time - growing outside the IBM site where I work.
Here is the very first piece i prised out (using a blank cd) :
Not so much a Horseradish as a Ponyradish perhaps :
Anyway, Once discovered I went out with my spade and did the illegal deed :
Most of the root went in the freezer and the rest was used to make Horseradish Cream, which went nicely with a T-Bone steak. :
Crappy puns and dodgy capitilisation aside, I think there is a lot to learn from this blog. Like, for example, if you have a hobby that is on the fringe of what is considered socially acceptable - don't draw attention to it.
