[Avodah] Horse radish

[D&E-H Bannett]

Shalom R' Simon,
Since you seemed interested, I thought you'd like to see the 
attached summary of the referred to article re:horse radish. 
The complete article is available from the author as a 
pamphlet.  However, I don't remember how to contact him.  If 
you feel the urge for more detail, somebody else on the list 
might be of help.

BT"W, when I was a kid many long years ago, our Galizianer 
custom for maror was to eat a piece of horse radish with 
some of the green sprouting attached. Although I didn't 
realize it then, we obviously preserved the memory of eating 
a green leafy vegetable.  For the sandwich we used a slice 
of white alone.

Some 61 years ago, when I got married, we switched to my 
wife's E"Y minhag, romaine lettuce, a piece with the core of 
the stalk with some leaf attached.

Purim sameach and Pesach kasher - or is it Purim kasher and 
Pesach sameach,


David
