I used to work with a guy that loved "spicy" food. He'd frequently order "the spiciest wings you've got" when we went to lunch. So knowing that he liked spicy food, one day we were at a Chinese place. I recommended that he dip something into the Chinese hot mustard because to me spicy was spicy whether it was capsaicin like it chili peppers or whatever stuff singes your nose hairs like in horseradish and spicy mustard. That day I learned that 1 those two kinds of spicy are not always equally loved, and 2 he really did not like spicy mustard.

I first started eating horse with prime rib. Probably no reason to mess with a good cut of beef, but I did. Just because restaurants offered it and no other reason. Since I haven't eaten anything that had eyes since 1985 I just use it on sandwiches.

Well, not peanut butter!

I think some horseradish sauce is premixed with mayonaise or something like it, while some is essentially just pickled, ground root.

The stuff that I like to use has the following ingredients: Horseradish, Vinegar and Salt.

But I am game if the missus makes a sauce with ^that^ stuff and other ingredients which is often the case when having some sorts of meats.
