nasal napalm "horseradish extreme"

For our first review, we decided to go with something we purchased in Gatlinburg, TN. We visited the Pepper Palace, as we always do when we visit Gatlinburg, and came across this little jar of horseradish. Only 5oz of this stuff in the jar, but it boasts to pack a punch that will make that 5oz last.

Nasal Napalm "Horseradish Extreme" is a house brand item of Pepper Palace that has actually won some contests in horseradish divisions. The label actually lists 4 warnings:

#1: This is the most powerful horseradish on the planet, and although it will not kill you, it may make you a little crazy!
#2: One tiny spec of this horseradish is all you can handle.
#3: Do not apply to sensitive areas. Do not hold jar directly under nose & smell.
#4: Intentionally concealing the intense aroma & burn of this product to misguide others is wrong & is likely to earn you a good butt-woopin.


she said: Coming across this product was fun. They gave samples in-store, so of course I tried some without hesitation. I love horseradish, the stronger the better. That being said, I cautiously took a small amount on my sample spoon (about an 1/8 of a teaspoon, like the picture below), and went for it. The name for this horseradish is perfect - Nasal Napalm! My nasal cavities immediately started burning, and my eyes started watering. It only lasted a few seconds, but those few seconds made a huge impact! I highly recommend this horseradish if you like intense, spicy flavors. Just a dab'll do ya in mayo for roast beef sammiches, and it can make some killer cocktail sauce for shrimp. If you're not a huge fan of horseradish, I wouldn't bother with this stuff - just grab a cheap bottle at your local grocery. Or, buy a jar of Nasal Napalm and completely ignore warning #4 and have some fun!


he said: After watching my lovely wife try this, I of course had to man-up and try it as well. Unfortunately, I hadn't witnessed how much she had tried, so I took a larger sample - more like a 1/4 teaspoon. It took about 2 seconds to hit me, but when it did, my nose and eyes instantly started burning, and I honestly couldn't breathe. This horseradish really knocks the wind out of you. Luckily, the sensation passed in about 5-10 seconds. If you're a horseradish fan, this is definitely something for you, as the flavor is very intense.
