Traditonial Russian Horseradish Wherefore all this sugar????? Grated black horseradish root , chickenfat, salt-you're done. Served room temp or slightly warmed. Can be made beforehand. That's it. As traditional (Russian/Hungarian) as you can get, and on matzoh, the best. Reply

in response to Barbara:

My uncle never added sugar or salt - just grated and served! I guess he used beets because his horseradish came up from the basement RED and VERY hot!

We children couldn't eat it - just took a bite of gefilte fish and smelled the horseradish as it was passed around the table.

I never understood why he came up from the basement crying.

I also love red horseradish on the cold boiled chicken from the soup. Reply
