        Pods,

        All this talk about the horseradish and pepper mixture people 
had at Open Fields (which I couldn't attend!) reminded me of something 
the Japanese do:


Moiji Oroshi (red maple sauce)

Wash 3-4 red hot peppers.  Remove the stems and seeds.  If the peppers
are very dry, soak in water with 1-2 drops vinegar until softened.  

Wash diakon radish, pat dry.  Cut off 1 inch from the stem end and the
remainder into 2-3 pieces.  Peel the remainder.  For each piece you'll
need four of the peppers.  Use a chopstick and poke a hole for each
pepper in the section of radish.  With the chopstick, plug each hole with
a pepper.

Grate slowly with a fine grater to make the pepper bits fine.  Drain
pulp on a bamboo mat.


I've never made this, but it definitely has potential.  It's served as 
a garnish with various Japanese dishes, as far as I know sushi is one
it's served with.  You can also use the juices as a table/dipping sauce,
according to some things I've seen.

Anyone familiar with this?
