The horseradish that I buy here is mild…. very mild. I can eat it right out of the jar.
I have learned that the French palate is actually more wimpy than mine.

Actually, they didn’t lick their elbows but they all said they wanted to….
Elbow-Lick Sandwich Bread has to be one of the more curious breads the Babes have grappled with.
