The whole purpose of Gefilte fish is to enjoy the horseradish!

If he wanted to be grossed out for real he should have tried pickled herring.

at my supermarket and out of curiosity I bought it. Yuk! My dog wouldn't even eat it and she ate pretty much everything like mushrooms, lettuce, etc. She also refused to eat Menudo (tripe soup). I can eat just about anything...including a 18 day old duck embryos (Balute).

Now I wish I could try the real deal. I had the opportunity a zillion times while living in NYC and Phila. Damn!

Horseradish DOES help.

DIFFICULT to make, it appears.
