St Elmo's restaurant in downtown Indianpolis is famous for its shrimp cocktail. The key ingredient apart from shrimp is the horseradish in the cocktail sauce.

Being Polish and a connoisseur of all meat in tube form, I always have at least one jar of horseradish in the fridge.
Absolutely love the stuff. ^

But you definitely didn't miss the mandatory glasses of wine? My family sure didn't. 16 people...22 bottles of wine.

An excellent restaurant in London, Wodka, serves a lot of flavored vodkas that they make themselves by by soaking the flavoring agent in the vodka. The horseradish vodka is one of my favorites. It goes great with food.

Love it with Prime Rib.
It's OK with Lamb, but not my fave. I prefer mint jelly with Lamb.
Horseradish is also delicious when eaten with sausages like Kielbasa.
Shrimp cocktail would not be the same without strong horseradish, IMO. As previously posted, "St. Elmo's" in Indianapolis makes their cocktail sauce so harsh, you will burst into tears, but it's awesome.
I used to grind my own and store it. You must add the right amount of vinegar, or within a few days or a week, your once awesome grind of horseradish will lose 90% of it's potency.

Addicted at an very early age (like 7) to this stuff. My grandfather would grind it himself and we'd all see who could last the longest before running out of the kitchen crying! Apparently copiuos amounts of vodka were also involved (guessing that's where that addiction came from too 
).
If you have to resort to a bottled horseradish sauce use Atomic Horseradish. It is what is used in many high end restaurants. Trust me, I know!

Horseradish cream with roast beef, every single time... whether on the side of a plate or all over a sandwich.
Also fantastic to pep up a Marie Rose (cocktail) sauce
And finally, stir a spoonful into mashed potatoes. Amazing ^

Creamy mashed potatoes with horseradish is pretty yummy too.
And nothing beats a rare slice of roast beef with a dollop of horseradish.

Coarsely grated raw fresh horseradish on fresh green organic salad with vinaigrette. Followed by a generous amount of coarsely grated raw horseradish over marinated local organic beef and raw onion rings with small olive oil and a little vinaigrette. Yum. Greber Gastronomie I'm coming again to Austria to find out where else you serve this
