Sign of the times in Chinese restaurant:

Caution!
This is Wasabi, not guacamole.

Interesting post.

I eat a lot of broccoli just because it is healthy.

There are five vegetables that were derived from the will English cabbage. They are:

1. Broccoli

2. Cauliflower

3. Brussell Sprouts

4. Cabbage (The stuff we eat in cole slaw)

5. Collard Greens

All of these are high in cancer fighting properties.

(BTW, those five are the answer to a Trivial Pursuit question)

“...secret sidekick...”

Secret sidekick? I’d say anything with a seriously hot afterburner effect you add to food would be more healthy than sitting still and farting contentedly. Folks need a blatant butt-kick in the way of mustard, horseradish or hot pepper to get them up and moving about, like an airplane with an afterburner.

There's nothing better than a good batch of homemade horseradish.

You can tell if it's good when you take a bite. And then take a deep breath and let it get in your nasal cavity. That's some GOOD HORSERADISH!

Maybe a few shots of Jack Daniels with your Broccoli....well, might not increase the cancer fighting, but will help with any pain you have :-)

I use horseradish in my coleslaw. Not much. Just enough to make it interesting.

We now have some Indian deli-supermarkets in my neighborhood that I’ve been hitting regularly for awhile now and I swear spice is addictive ( like in Dune). It’s not even the quest for a “hot” taste like in Mexican type food. Most hot food is pepper based but in Indian the heat is spice based. Bottom line, heavy spice influences my sense of well being. I’m not surprised to see science back this up.

“There’s nothing better than a good batch of homemade horseradish. “

especially if it is vacuum sealed.

Put a soupcon in your tuna or potato salad next time .

Wondering if adding some hot peppers from my garden would be acceptable with the broccoli?
