Condiment trouble!

[Boppity]

My mother and I purchased a jar of sauce that I believe to be polish a while back. It was a type of beetroot and horseradish concoction which tasted AY-MAY-ZING with roast meat. We got it in Tescos but they no longer stock it and I can't remember what it's called.

Does anyone know what it is that I might be referring to?! I must find it!

Chrane? Or so google suspects!

That's it! Oooh my mum is Jewish, she is going to kick herself when I tell her it's common in Jewish cuisine.

I don't suppose it'd work with veggie food ?

There's a Polish shop round the corner ...

 

[stuff_it]

Surely there will be a corner shop that sells Polish food near you? They normally have more range than the supermarkets.

There is, but I thought I'd have better luck if I went along with the name of what I was looking for.

You're not supposed to eat polish.

Live a little!

Anyway most food has pictures of what is in it on the label. POlish stuff is normally in jars as well making it even simpler. *shrug*

I bet there wasn't a picture of a horseradish on it though.

I actually don't know what a horse radish looks like.

Like a giant parsnipy thing right? I think?

Look at the picture of the jar at the top of this thread. The root thingie that looks like a parsnip that shagged some ginger, that's horseradish.

FYI, behold - horseradish:

 

[gentlegreen]

That is the wrong foliage

Not sure it's even right for parsnip ...

It's actually not related to either parsnip or ginger ... it's in the cabbage / mustard family .

You can find it in a lot of country hedges - for years I thought it was dock.

A right swine to pull up though apparently ...

FWIW the Jewish food sections of supermarkets sells the beetroot & horseradish thing if you can't find it in with the Polish food (with diverse ways of spelling "chrane").

It will. It goes well with eggs, cheese, hummus...

That made me laugh out loud to myself, good one

I bloody love horseradish.

And you don't need to buy it. Just boil up some beetroot and grate them. Then stick some strong horseradish in from a jar. Add sugar and vinegar (not much) Jobs a goodun.

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

what you want from the jar is:

Ćwikła z chrzanem


Which translates as beetroot with horseradish.

even cheaper find some wild horsraddish and dig it up if no one looking and its not by a road!

I don't know if you've found what you're looking for but I noticed today they sell Beetroot & Horseradish Relish in my local Waitrose.

You can get it in Asda if the branch has a section for Jewish food.

You should be able to easily find it in to Polish section of your supermarket. Or the local Polski Sklep.
