The traditional condiment for gefilte fish is prepared horseradish, either
red or white, according to the eater's taste. I prefer red, which gets its
color from beets.
I once took some gefilte fish to work, and, not wanting to tote a jar of
horseradish with me, put a large dollop in the container with the fish.
By the time that lunch came around, the horseradish had gotten pretty
evenly distributed, and what I had in my container was two bright pink
lumps. A non-Jewish co-worker asked me what I was eating.
"Gefilte fish," I said, matter-of-factly.
She stared at it again, and asked incredulously, "What kind of fish is a
gefilte?"
