My recent addiction これ無しではちょっと、、!


I just love this stuff!!! I have been addicted to horse radish for several months now. When I first came to the states as a child I did not know what the horse radish was... it is not a common item in Japan although some farmers in Hokkaido have begun growing them. One day back in spring, I happened to buy a "horse radish hummus" at the Celler in Long Island City. I fell in love with its unique taste and kept buying it everyday! Then, one day, they completely stopped selling it. I got so 'agitated' and 'angry' (sign of addiction!) and could not stop thinking about the horse radish hummus. I went to the Whole Foods and they did not have it. So I just bought a bottle of horse radish and mixed with a regular hummus. It was that simple...why did not I think about that sooner...?!? I put it on everything - sandwitches, grains, crackers... sometimes I just eat it as it is. I thank God for creating this!

春からはまっているのが、このホースラディッシュ。アブラナ科の一種で、日本では西洋ワサビと呼ばれています。私が思うには、ワサビというよりは、大根に近い舌触り。よくローストビーフなどの付け合わせとして出てきますね。渡米したばかりの子供の頃、なんてまずいものだろうと思ったのに、最近は「中毒」になってしまった!サンドイッチはもちろん、玄米とも一緒に食べたりしています!そのままスプーンですくって食べたりもします。それ程好きなんです〜!写真の瓶が3日くらいでなくなってしまうんですよ。
