18 inches of horseradish root!, and it wasn't strong enough for you???

I've still got my root which I bought a week or two ago, so I haven't
tried it yet. But from the warnings that other people gave, it sure
seems like that would be quite enough horseradish. Are you sure you
had horseradish and not turnips or something? :-)
