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.
Except for the mustard which is always very, very hot.
Use horseradish according to your taste and the potency of what is available.
I have, in the past, added another cup of tomatoes and served the sauce over pasta (adjusting other flavors accordingly) but I’ve been curtailing carbs for a few weeks…. After the holidays you know.

Notes
Use hot horseradish and / or hot sauce for more of a kick.
We regularly have fighter plans, both real ones and trainers, flying over our house.
Sometimes they are very low, usually very fast and always very loud.
We have learned not to bother to go outside to look because by the time we get there the planes are long gone.
We also regularly see jet trails. I love it when I am out at sunrise with the dogs as the jet trails are often prolific and usually hot pink.
The other day when I was out with the girls I saw this:
It was a bit puzzling as commercial airliners rarely do loop the loops en route to their destination.
Passengers might be concerned,
Then I realized it was l’armée de l’air, the French fighter pilots having a little fun on the first sunny day we’ve had in weeks.
We live fairly close to a jet fighter training airport and get them zooming over frequently. They come over the house at low level right at lunch time and we reckon they are racing each other home for lunch.
They do like to fly around lunchtime, don’t they? In the Vendee there was a very predominate church steeple near us that they liked to circle.
You don’t grow your own horseradish? I’m a bit surprised at that!
There is a movement here in the US of people who think that the trails left behind by any jet is not the vapor from the hot exhaust condensating with the cold air, but actually what they call ‘chem trails’ and claim that the government is trying to poison us all with them. It’s all foolishness but a bit unbelievable how many people actually think that’s what they are. I kind of lump them all with the flat-earthers. I have also had odd conversations with the flat-earthers and tried to explain to them that, if the earth truly was flat, cats would have knocked everything off it by now, but you can’t talk to them…
😉
I tried growing it once and failed. I’ve not seen is as a plant to buy for the garden here.
I’ve heard of the ‘chem trails’…. and the flat-earthers (aren’t they about the same?) And they can’t understand the ‘cat proof’? I thought that explained their error quite well !
It does make one wonder about the education, doesn’t it?
We have them flying over almost on a daily basis , usually around the middle of the day or early afternoon. They frequently appear to be flying along the line of the river.
Once or twice a year one of the real fighters (rather than the trainers) will fly over very low…. Scaring the crap out of us lol
I adore horseradish but have never had it with chicken…must try it !!
I love it with salmon, too….
