Let me guess... you put ketchup on your Swiss Chalet chicken too, right? It amounts to the same thing as putting horseradish on beef.

Which begs the question, why the hell would anyone put anything on beef in the first place?

Do you do that to cover up the taste of the steroids that are in the beef?

@SandWitch noooo, ketchup is only good for kids and their grilled cheese!

@ImpeccablyImperfect
So, what's horseradish got to do with beef then?
ImpeccablyImperfect · 51-55, F
@SandWitch I like it 😉 (and it seems many others do as well) 😊😊

But I like ketchup too but I'd never try to associate ketchup with beef, which is my point. I didn't ask if you liked horseradish or not, I asked what horseradish has to do with beef?

@SandWitch simply that it’s what we do here. 🤷‍♀️ not sure what more you need??? 😊

@ImpeccablyImperfect
Yes, I know that is what you do there because that's what you said you do there!

I am questioning that cultural 'norm' you seem to have established for yourselves in Alberta, which I've never heard of before.

@SandWitch Jesus Christ just walk away. I have no more patience for you and your persistent ignorance.
@ImpeccablyImperfect
She clearly isn't the ignorant one here, Impeccably. SandWitch was making a very valid point which you failed to recognize. The point she was making was, why would you ruin the natural flavor of very expensive beef by splashing some unrelated hot spicy crap onto it that has the equivalent effect as Tabasco sauce on nachos, when so much effort goes into the preparation of that very expensive cut of beef in the first place?

I understood exactly what she was asking and quite frankly, I had never thought about it before though I too am from Canada. I know what horseradish is and I'm not even from Alberta which as every Canadian knows is the horseradish Capital of Canada.

@SandWitch on the other hand, is from Sweden where they don't do stuff like that with beef. I honestly think she was trying to understand the culinary rationale behind one's choice to put horseradish on prime cuts of beef and that's about all. Hamburger perhaps, but prime rib? That was her question.

Persistent ignorance? Yes, that's probably a pretty good way to put it!

I think what threw me off with your post was the singular, primary focus you and everyone else has on 'beef meat' in particular, which of course is what the horseradish is for.

Where I was born and raised in northern Sweden was right on the Arctic Circle. The closest I've ever come to seeing anything that resembles 'beef' like you have grazing the fields in Alberta Canada, is my father's dairy herd of 200 cows.

All standing side by side in attack formation, they definitely look like beef cattle in the absence of light, but come sunrise, their secret identity is revealed to all concerned when they all need milking.

The meat we eat in Sweden is moose meat, reindeer meat, bear meat, wild boar meat and venison from fallow deer.

All our venison comes from completely wild animals from the Swedish wilderness.

We do not sell meat in our stores from fenced animals of any kind or from animals that lived outside of Sweden.

On my next business trip to the western shores of Canada in the springtime, I will make it my personal business to purchase a jar of horseradish upon my arrival, to bring back home with me to see how well it goes with reindeer burgers covered with melted Swedish curd cheese on a toasted sesame seed bun!

@SandWitch If I was wrong about the intentions behind your comments, then I apologize. I felt you were simply trying to attack me somehow, and I reacted. 😞
