On Passover, Jews eat horseradish to remember the bitterness of their forebears' lives as slaves in ancient Egypt. But as anyone who has seen The Ten Commandments knows, regular horseradish is too mild to do justice to the experience. That's why making your own maror is a must. And the great news is, it's so easy you can eat it year-round instead of buying the lame bottled stuff. Just watch out for your eyes and be careful not to breathe in the fumes of the horseradish because that stuff will burn your nasal passages to their cores. (Some people recommend donning ski goggles, and tbh, it's not bad advice.) Standard recipe here, "murderous maror" recipe here. (Can't stand the heat? Make your own charoset, the sweet apple-wine-nut mixture eaten to represent the mortar the slaves used in building the pyramids.)
