But it got better and better. I really like horseradish. I have tubes and tubes of wasabi laying in the refrigerator. I'd just never considered adding chile to it. Now I will. Actually, my past stupid-eating-peppers phase of life has kind of jaded me: A friend just brought me 3 ounces of fine-dust "picante" green chile-powder from New Mexico. It is really good in slaw. But it ain't real hot. Now a teaspoon of the old Ralph's Revenge, or another one of Father Jim's Habenero pulp, now that is *hot.* carp
