Horseradish - foraging, preserving & making sauce

[@matpros]

I would love more on foraging please :-) Anyway another awesome video!

[@EnglishCountryLife]

I will definitely do some more...we live near salt marshes & they are great places to forage!

[@matpros]

@@EnglishCountryLife Salt marshes? I wish these were close to where I live... I am from the Czech republic. But back to the horseradishh - we call it "křen" here and we eat it with sausages and meat

[@EnglishCountryLife]

@@matpros Interesting to know!

[@lindaoostmeyer4637]

This was a great video! Simple ingredients for a wonderful horseradish sauce!

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Thanks so much Linda. It is super simple but so much nicer than factory made 🙂

[@chrishamilton-wearing3232]

I love horseradish sauce. In fact i`ve just scoffed a mini pork pie with a bit of HRS whist watching the video. I will def` give it a try if I can find some horseradish growing around here.

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Hi Chris! Once you spot that crinkly leaf you will find some in verges and field boundaries!

[@a.b.9707]

Hi. Great video. Much appreciated. Just one problem. The suggested video to watch next, covers the ingredient list with the measurements.😁 You're the first person I've found on KZbin to make real horseradish sauce. Thank you. Been looking for a right recipe for ages. Looking forward to trying a good few projects on your video list; especially the shoe polish - and agreed. There is NOTHING like real leather and canvas...I'm getting really sick of "pretend" shoes and boots in the shops. So again, thank you. Much appreciated. Keep it going.👍

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Thanks for letting me know - I've fixed the end screen 😊

[@Andrew.Croft.]

Thanks for the foraging vid would appreciate some more of those, keep seeing wild horseradish but when you get to the roots they are too small to be of any use so given up on hunting for them, do you ever forage for mushrooms?, thanks for the inspiration to make "cassis" with bilberries, it smells and tastes wonderful.

[@EnglishCountryLife]

So glad to hear the bilberries! We do know some basic fungi but hesitate to show them because of the risks. There's loads more that we could cover though - especially coastal foraging - from mussels to samphire

[@Andrew.Croft.]

@@EnglishCountryLife More foraging would be awesome, I understand your thoughts on mushrooms as there are way too many risks involved, I only know the easy ones and the ones that are dangerous, and not the huge number inbetween, thanks again for the vid

[@SalLeeHolland]

This was very interesting, but I am not a fan of creamy hourseradish. This had a lot of information though. Thank you from Western, N.Y.

[@EnglishCountryLife]

You can just pickle - but it lacks depth for me

[@chrisfox3161]

Erindoors got a Hori Hori in her stocking this very morning. (25 Dec ) She's impressed. She can tell just by looking and holding how useful it's going to be. That's

[@EnglishCountryLife]

A great present - I'd be delighted. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@TimOE2000]

Thank you for the video, unfortunately KZbin stuck an advert over the top of your recipe so can't copy it.

[@EnglishCountryLife]

So sorry to hear that Tim 😔 I've edited where links can be placed on the rnd screen. Hopefully you can now see the recipe. If not, let me know and I'll email it to you Hugh

[@MaxGrowingSolo]

Really useful. Thanks.

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Really glad it helped. We love growing garlic, ginger, chillies and mustard - but some foraged tracklements really help stave off blandness!

[@Dingleowl1582]

👍

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Glad you liked it!

[@angelicinspirations]

Great stuff. I really want to make my own horseradish sauce and this was a good and comprehensive video. ty

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@350pauli]

Love that video I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for some horse radish the knife looks great too it reminded me of something my metal detectorist friend had

[@EnglishCountryLife]

They are very useful tools 🙂

[@vincerieger6143]

Awesome

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Thank you 😊

[@victoriabaker9223]

So pleased you put this video together. I now know about horseradish and I've found a Hori Hori Christmas prezzie for my man 😁. Thank you so much!

[@EnglishCountryLife]

I hope your man loves it (it's basically a knife so it's likely 😁)

[@moniquem783]

Is there a reason you don't grow it yourself? Is it too invasive to have in the garden?

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Hi Monique - it's more invasive than mint - definitely one to forage (or grow in pots)

[@moniquem783]

@@EnglishCountryLife wow! Okay then! I have some seeds so they will go in a pot. On a deck or paving or something 😂😂 It doesn’t grow wild here so I was very excited to find seeds. Not sure I’m going to love the heat of it, but there’s one sauce recipe I like which uses a little bit and I couldn’t find straight horseradish, only horseradish cream. I used it, but then I ended up throwing out half of the sauce because I didn’t use it all up within a few weeks. So I do want to grow some so I can do that properly and it will keep. I found wild garlic seeds too. I had thought they should go in a pot, so maybe I’ll have a little collection of pots. My British foraging corner 😊

[@EnglishCountryLife]

@@moniquem783 Wild garlic isn't too bad for spreading & tastes wonderful 👍

[@moniquem783]

@@EnglishCountryLife oh good! I’ve seen huge patches of it so I was a bit worried. I’m really looking forward to trying it though. I see lots of people using it and saying it’s delicious so when I saw the seeds as I was buying my veggie seeds I just had to grab them! Now I just need to find my smallholding so I can plant them 😊

[@bgtrev]

We have been wondering about this as our neighbour grows a crop of horseradish every year and a few stragglers have ended up in our patch, so a timely video and definitely one to try, good video again, many thanks.

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Glad to help Trev - Merry Christmas 🎄

[@davidcollier185]

My wife bought me a hori hori for Xmas last year. Great video again as usual - thank you for all your efforts and have a great Xmas from Aus

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Thanks David - Merry Christmas 🎄

[@goldthredz]

I love leaving a bit of the Horseradish root in the ground so that it will grow back next year. Great video !!

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Oh we always leave a lot. Around here there are 300 yard reefs.of it at the field edges

[@TheFarrierphil]

Fantastic stuff and great to see a Hori Hori. Such a wonderful versatile tool, love it!

[@EnglishCountryLife]

Thanks mate - those hori hori are so much better than most trowels that I own!

[@MiddleEastMilli]

You made my day, Hugh! I needed this! Thank you so very kindly!

[@EnglishCountryLife]

I'm pleased to have helped Milli 👍🙂
