They say that horseradish roots go down about 6 feet! I'm not so sure that is far off the mark. It is fine to leave a patch of the stuff in a forgotten corner, it does not die - really! Abuse it all you like IT DOES NOT DIE. Having said that, it is wonderful stuff. My Mother told me that back in the 192os... when she was a little girl she used to have to grate the horseradish with a grater! Can you imagine the pain? Thank heavens for food processors.Recepie - horseradish root, evaporated milk, malt vinegar - into the food processor and whizz.
