I like wasabi, kemosabe.Wasabi. I pluck my own wild horseradish. Make your own pickles. Pickles are super easy to can and when the jar is empty add boiled eggs to the brine and wait a week.
I tried growing horseradish but it might be a touch too warm where I live as they were small and skinny.
All the NZ jarred horseradish is mixed with sweet stuff which barfs me out.
A good CDN buddy always brings me a 6 pack of HOLBROS annually.
Pickles are easy to grow but I would like to purchase Kosher dills like Vlasics, but no joy here.
Again, NZ tastes sweeten everything.
I do get pickles that I vinegar and garlic up, but not the same.
I do make my "Old Port" type cigarillos, using local wine and local herb, and that works.
