Recipes from Hell
Thought I would offer this new category for the Flame thread. My first is from my father.

Wild horseradish grows around here and my father decided to make his own horseradish sauce. It is a very simple recipe just grind horse radish and vinegar. My father elected to use a blender. It turns out wild horseradish is stronger by far than the wimpy commercial stuff. We had a full scale evacuation of the house. All of us looked like victims of a tear gas attack. The only one not streaming tears was my sisters cat. It didn't seem to be able to tear up but it was wheezing like it was suffering an asthma attack.
After the house was aired I tried the stuff and a pea sized lump on a hunk of prime rib was way too much.

I was reminded of this little episode because I mentioned it to a friend of mine from Miami (an excellent cook). He sent me this E-mail:

After 15 years I now feel your pain. This last Saturday I decided to make this special sauce that I'm going to use Christmas - it's basically a homemade 'Worcestshire sauce' - actually it's a sweet/sour sauce flavored with jalapeno, canned anchovies and horseradish. So yesterday I attempted to fine grate a pound of horseradish by hand. After about 10 minutes of coughing and crying I gave up and used the food processor. If the Iraqiis have anything near that nasty Kuwait is in trouble.
