A Condiments thread ?

[dwygrsshpr]

Add a little fresh grated horseradish to some scratch coleslaw; just a touch (or essence as you will). Will change worlds for the better. We prefer mayo based recipes over vinegar but the choice is yours.

If you can't get fresh, the jar will work but you will have to experiment. Add it slowly regardless of fresh vs. jarred and taste test. Best to prepare hours in advance as flavors will change/mellow as it chills.

I've never ripped someone's arms off for withholding a potato salad recipe, but there's a first time for everything!

Bacon (duh this is Irate) for authentic German potato salad (lots of google recipes). They like it warm. I prefer it chilled. Adding finely diced hardboiled eggs is also another level.

This thread may be evolving to a "sides" vs. "condiments" at this point.

Kewpie makes the best dynamite sauce. Runner up is Dukes.

I misread you and went and looked to see if Kewpie marketed a pre-made dynamite sauce. Imagine my disappointment... Curses!

That is a million dollar idea... I'm sure one of the food labs at Kirkland could figure it out.

ETA: directions/recipe for DIY dynamite sauce

In a small bowl, combine [Kewpie] mayonnaise, sriracha [there is only one], honey, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings, adding more sriracha sauce for extra heat, honey for sweetness, or lime juice for tanginess.

And a recipe (I know deviating from condiment thread....)

Steam up a shit load of mussels. Once cracked open, remove them from heat. Split and toss the shell without the meat. Line a baking sheet with foil and set all the mussels on it. Spoon a dollop of the above dynamite sauce on each and broil until it's bubbly. If you want, you can throw some finely grated cheese (a hard cheese like parm or romano), or breadcrumbs, or super finely diced scallions/green onions for color.

Serve as an appetizer.

Considering there is a pellet grill thread going at the same time, finishing these in the smoker while the main is wrapping up will keep guests happy. And the smoke will be a ++

Gotta add fish roe too.

Edit: Masago is the best.

I like Mustard but none of the sotre stuff seem to have any zap anymore.

Same with horseradish, it's all meh. If I can find the grated stuff it's usually decent.

Anyways I have been using the Yellow bird sauces recently, been my go to.

 

[dwygrsshpr]

You can always add your own zip. Add garlic, chipotle, wasabi, grated horseradish, hot sauce even...

Do you feel like making your own? Not for everyday use, but i guess it depends on how much you go through...

I am always annoyed by the food blog template/format, so fair warning.

My neighbor grew his own horseradish and it could not be beat by a stick. We would get a couple roots off of him and shave/grate it ourselves. If you have any kind of garden, you can buy roots ready to plant from amazon. I would recommend containers:

Horseradish Care In Pots: How To Grow Horseradish In A Container

If you have ever grown horseradish, then you are only too well aware that it can become quite invasive. The solution, of course, would be container-grown horseradish. Look at this article to find out how to grow horseradish in a container.

hmm yeah we need a list of stuff that can grow in the wild without issue.

Horseradish is on the list.

my moms potato salad recipe has green olives, cukes and tomatoes in it, plus the standard taters and eggs.

Mom’s mac salad is basically the same wet ingredients as her potato salad, but she will add a small can of sliced black olives. Adding the cucumber sounds good, but they don’t agree with me anymore 😕

If I was a mod, I would split this convo out to a separate thread on sides.

Wife makes several versions of summer salads depending on what is hitting in the garden.

This is always a pleaser:

This stuff is just about negligibly hot but it's one of the tastiest sauces ever made

I have never understood people wanting to eat crippling hot peppers/sauces. I like some heat, but it needs to compliment what I’m eating

Crippling hot???? Tabasco?

The mayo I've been eating lately. No seed oils. Very expensive and very tasty:
