I’m pretty sure average Danish horseradish would kill your usual WASP. And don’t get me started on that abomination Americans call mustard. Or alioli.
Go, go ahead, take a bulb of garlic, remove the sprouts, put them in pestle and mortar and mush them through with some good olive oil and salt until you have a nice emulsion. Taste the result and dare again to speak about “white people and spice”. Nope, it’s American puritans who invented corn flakes and Graham crackers so people would stop masturbating.
