I have used some I brought from the UK and some from the Ukraine and Portugal off eBay with great success.
Hi Jane. I always make sure I support our local family owned shops in Marseillan. The fresh produce is way much better than at the local Carrefour and I get to use my mix of Kiwi/British/French dialogue to amuse the locals in the way I say French words. And then, of course, I get a lesson in the ācorrectā way to say the word. I so enjoy the interaction and learn a bit more each time 
Stay safe - Steve

We used to see it growing on the side of the road near Stroud.
Perhaps it does the same here.
Horseradish - also marvellous with smoked mackerel.

If one intends to take horseradish from the verges beware that it is difficult to differentiate from Aconiteā¦look it up.

Canāt remember how to say a one size fits all thank you. I love the comments. Sticking with horseradish, hereās a challenge for you all. I thought I liked Wasabi nuts which as you know are made from raifort. OMG. Nearly had a heart attack. Now, what do I do with 250g of the things. If I invest in a grinder do you think I can make a paste from them- ergo horseradish sauce???
Wasabi and raifort aka horse radish are two different plants from the same family. They donāt produce nuts. You probably have peanuts or another type of nut covered in wasabi.

sorry - thatās what I meant - peanuts covered in wasabi
didnāt know it was two diff plants - raifort listed in ingredients - learn something new every day on this forum! 
If you ānearly had a heart attackā with āweakā horseradish flavour, I would suggest that you stay well clear of real Wasabi. 
A lot of stuff marketed as Wasabi has never been near a Wasabi plant, but is a mix of horseradish, yellow mustard and food colouring.
Real wasabi is hugely more powerful than horseradish and phenomenally more expensive. If you can afford it, it isnāt wasabi.
But yes, grind up your āwasabiā coated peas or peanuts and use in sauces.

Buy some Wasabi plants. I got 6 at 2,95ā¬ each from my local nursery.
Now thatās a good idea!
But SO sinusexplodingly fabulousā¦ definitely worth it.
They need to grow in running water, donāt they?
Cool, shady and damp and no colder than -5.
No they donāt need running water, we have grown them in pots and at the edge of our pond.

I had a bladderexplodingly not-fabulous experience with fresh h/radish sauce.
Full-on Sunday roast beef lunch at the now sadly bankrupt, formally fabulous Sharrow Bay Hotel, Ullswater. I lashed on the h/rad as per the Colemanās edition.
Two hours later, way out on Windermere in a wonderful steam powered skiff, I felt the urgently urgent urge to pee. The skipper, the owner/creater of the Steamboat Museum said āGo ahead. I do when Iām out here fishingā But then, 10 mins later, the urgent urge again ā¦ this went on and on and on. I was in the grip of a very powerful emetic and it wouldnāt let go.
I learned something about horse radish sauce that day. Never mind clearing your sinuses, your bladder gets wrung out like a wet rag.
I think you mean diuretic,not emetic

I have a similar problem. Plenty of leaves but very little root.
