Going to grow our own horse radish to make our
Easter Hash next year.

Bacon , four kinds of sausage and ham mixed
with eggs and a bunch of horse radish all in one
big pot and you get Easter Hash. Put it in 3
gallon canning pot full with a little canola oil on
the bottom and a little water and cook it up.

can smell it cooking now.

Golly gee pars I hope that was a free range
turkey.

dubsy: If it was it may look like a
Leghorn rooster(not too plump).

Happy Easter everyone and try to enjoy the
calm before the storm(spring seeding-when
ever that is).

Today buckwheat cabbage rolls, spinach & feta
and mushroom perogies, turkey and our old
standby Ukrainian sausage from Ukrainian Coop
in Regina. Only cook a left-wing turkey. One less
left to vote.

Jag, can you direct me to that recipe, or have a
name to it. It sounds very good.

I need to lubricate my heart!

Eat right, exercise regularly, die anyway.

It is called Easter Hash.

My wife and her mother make it every year for
Easter. This has been a family tradition brought
over from Ukraine.

They get a big 3 gallon pot. Put a little canola oil
on the bottom. Then they get 4 or more kinds of
sausage and cut it up in small slices. Garlic
saugage, Ukrainian sausage, frying sausage any
kind of sausage. Then they cut up some smoked
ham slices and throw some slices of bacon in as
well. Then they take a couple a dozen boiled
eggs most years the ones the kids painted and
slice them up and throw everything into this big
pot. Then get a lots of horse radish. This year
we had horseradish the size of about 3 big
banana's. That was my job to slice strips off the
horseradish and put it in the pot. I dont know
all the cooking terms but i used one of those
things that you clean carots with to slice up the
horse radish.

Then you mix it all together and put it on the
stove to cook. Put a bit of water in it.

sure is good and it gets better each day when
you heat up the leftovers. The horse radish gets
stronger each day.

I look forward to Eating it every Easter which is
the only time we ever have it.

What an interesting recipe! I grind horseradish
every year, and put it in glass jars. Cover with
vinegar. And freeze them. So good. Will have to
try this recipe. Thanks , jag! Pars.

dubsy, I do try to buy directly from farmers. Beef
from the neighbors. Lamb. Used to buy chickens
from a neighbor. Used to buy eggs from a
neighbor. I find fewer neighbors grow these any
more. Home grown turkey is hard to find. Not
only do i like to support my neighbors, but they
taste better, I find. Pars

[Burbert]

Never ever, ever buy anything from
locals or neighbours. Always eat force
fed turkey er ham, with added growth
hormones and preservatives, cousin ya
wants yer moneys worth and the CFIA says
its okay ta gulp the stuff down. In
Summer and Fall we eat stuff from the
garden, but that time is short. Store
our own spuds till they are either used
er gettin rotten, then buy from super
market, cheap, beautiful food only,
nothin organic er with bugs er worms on
it.

Thank you Jag. Sounds easy enough to make
and so good to eat. I love stuff that get more
flavour the next day!
