The best way to use horseradish (according to a
horseradish afficianado...me) is to peel it to remove
the tough "bark", and then simply shred it with a box
grater, much as you would a chunk of cheddar.  I can't
vouch for the need to wear gloves or eye protection,
since I am not sensitive to these kinds of things
(onion, jalapenos, horseradish...t'aint no thang).

Another tidbit I like to do, particularly for service
with wine and cheese, is horseradish shoestrings.  I
cut the horseradish into jullienne or matchstick
strips, dip it into buttermilk, and then toss them in
seasoned flour, and fry them in olive oil.
