Great.. Thanks!

About the only place I can think of that might carry something remotely
similar to horseradish in root form is a local Japanese market that carries
Daikon roots which I gather are related but perhaps not the same. I think
if I want the real-McCoy, I'll have to order some from Burpee or another
vendor. I'm out in Southern California where the temps lately are in the
40's -- about as low as they normally get in the winter. Anyway, thanks
for the great info.. I'll give this a try at some point.
