Where’s the Horseradish?
By Editor | March 3, 2008
Since we have several large food markets here in Playa del Carmen, not to mention a super WalMart and a Sam’s Club, we find almost everything we would like to eat and to make our favorite recipes. Recently, I bought a large bag of frozen cooked jumbo shrimp at Sam’s Club. Mmmmmm…..I was thinking shrimp with cocktail sauce and a glass of vino, but then looked all over town and no shrimp cocktail sauce. I remembered I made a very good cocktail sauce when we lived in Florida with Hot and Spicy Ketchup and tablespoon of horseradish. I found Heinz Kick’rs Hot & Spicy Ketchup at WalMart, but there was no horseradish to be found at any of the stores. I began to ask around where one might find horseradish in this town and was told that Pacsadeli carries it. I hadn’t heard of this place before, so I did a little research and found out it is a restaurant supply company, but is open to the public. It has a good variety of high quality red meats, cheeses and import items . It is located on Constituyentes between 85th and 85th diagonal street (Ejido).
I also found some real American sour cream - a rare find in Playa del Carmen.
We enjoyed looking around, and when we asked for horseradish, a man went back to the refrigerated area and got a jar for us. Here’s some of the items we saw.
