Peanut butter and horseradish??

[Dow]

Recently saw a post discussing this:
A friend introduced me to this 50 years ago. Called it a George Washington. (Good as any, I guess!)
Take a Triscuit cracker, a dab of peanut butter, a smear of horseradish and three or four thin slices of green onion and upgrade your palate to sophisticated!

NO KIDDING!!!!

LOL, just think I might pass. Have you tried it?

I have, and prepared it for friends many times!

You wrote "a smear of horseradish", so that is prepared horseradish from a jar, isn't it? It's not fresh horseradish, eh?

 

[Sir_Loin_of_Beef]

Horseradish mustard, yes. Horseradish peanut butter, uh, I don't think so.

Peanuts go with a lot of things, and I'd have to give that a try before making a call on it. I have a peanut sauce that has garlic and fish sauce as ingredients in it.

I don't like peanut butter, but I love satay sauce (it's a texture thing).

And I can see horseradish working with peanuts/peanut butter

 

[dragnlaw]

I guess, if you look along the lines of satay sauce, might work. Deconstructed sauce on a cracker really doesn't appeal to me.
Doesn't mean I won't try it if someone were to hand a piece to me. Of course I would try. But to make to try myself, I'll pass.

I've had a peanut butter and radish sandwich. The peanut butter takes away some of the hotness of the radish, the radish adds a crunch to the filling. Both are positives and it keeps the sandwich savory, which I like. It is a little similar, not the same.

I've used both. The flavor of the peanut butter hitting your sinuses is really intense with fresh horseradish!

 

[dragnlaw]

Don't think I'd serve fresh horseradish as an appetizer/hors d'oeuvre - they'd never be able to distinguish another scent for the rest of the evening - or the complete opposite, they'd be able to smell a diesel truck passing along the highway in the next county.

It sounds kinda weird, but I think I will give it a try. I have crackers. I have peanutbutter made of nothing but peanuts. And, I have some prepared horseradish.

well, it's been 2 minutes. Are you still alive?

Naw, I think she still got her head under the bathtub faucet trying to stop the blisters from forming!

Don't swallow taxy! those blisters will go all down your throat!
Oh sorry, just realized she said "prepared" horseradish, not raw.

 

[taxlady]

Yes, still alive. I don't have any fresh horseradish, just prepared. I never found that to be very strong. It was different. I don't think I had the right balance. I tried two different ways and one was overwhelmingly horseradish flavour (but not hot) and the other was overwhelmingly peanutbutter flavour. I don't know if I will foof with trying to get a great balance that tastes good, not just okay, meh. I would definitely try it again if someone else made it. I might even try mixing up some if someone has a TNT ratio. TNT = Tested 'n True.

 

[dragnlaw]

Well, done taxy! I know it is hard to find a horseradish with "just" the right taste. I also think horseradish loses its taste quickly. I like it and use it, usually in spurts of a lot and then nothing. Never enough to finish a jar.

There is little that I would not try. So yeah, I'd try it.
