Never heard of adding horseradish before though! It's getting to be the season where these kind of recipes come out - we had potato salad with smoked mackerel last week and it was so nice to eat it outside. <br />It's so confusing to know what you can and cannot do isn't it? They keep moving the goalposts! We are supposed to be totally back to normal in two weeks time, that is never going to happen, I think we need a more gradual approach. I'm quite ok with the way things are with the slight easing of restrictions at the moment to be honest, so I will take things one step at a time no matter what!debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284434809316161095.post-72140222245104727532021-06-07T14:21:54.885-04:002021-06-07T14:21:54.885-04:00I make several different kinds of potato salad.

I've never heard of adding horseradish before, but I do add a bit of pickle juice to mine. I agree with not knowing exactly what we are allowed to do, or what's open, or when things will open...
