Kraft Horseradish Sauce - OU parve

Jews love chrain. Red horseradish sauce made with beets, or stronger and white without the beets added. It is a European condiment that goes well with gefilte fish. A traditional Sabbath food served as a first course.

Everything has a meaning, take a look at the Wikipedia article. It would do us a lot of good to think about what we eat, it's history and what it can mean on a symbolic level.

We love spicy hot sauces in our house. Chrain has to be hot and strong enough to clear your head. So this is a surprising favourite chez nous. Kraft horseradish sauce is a mixture of strong chrain and mayonaise. It strikes a good balance of mild and spicy flavours at the same time. I love it with gefilte fish and on a salami sandwich.

The ingredients are not organic or even natural, but I can read the label without a degree in chemistry. These days that's rare, especially with a major manufacturer. It is also 100% dairy free, certified by the OU. On our highly subjective scale, 4 out of 5.
