What are some good substitutes for horseradish?
I’ve heard mustard is one, but I still struggle a bit to see how it would do a very good job…
I’ve also seen online that some people suggest wasabi, but let’s be honest, the “wasabi” that most of us are familiar with is actually horseradish.
(Oh, and please don’t suggest horseradish sauce -_- . That one is obvious).
Update:
I like horseradish, but horseradish is not available at my local market.
I’m just trying to achieve the same sharp/pungent “kick” that horseradish typically brings. The flavor is almost immaterial; I just want the “kick”.
Note: Wasabi is also not available at my local market.
Mustard can be used, but it might have a lot of vinegar in it and can clash with whatever you are doing.
Maybe try doing something with mustard powder instead of prepared mustared.
You could try, if you are luck to get some real fresh Wasabi roots; that would be close to the perfect substitution.

Prepared whole grain or course ground mustards usually have less of a vinegar taste and more spice/kick, similar to what you get with raw horseradish. If you go with mustard, I'd choose one of this variety rather than standard yellow mustard.

Horseradish has distinctive tones which you can't replicate from other ingredients, neither is there a single substitution you can make. The closest I think you would get is a mixture of ginger and mustard. I would try blitzing together some fresh ginger root and crushed mustard seed, maybe with a dash of vinegar. A good, strong prepared mustard might work, if you can get something like Colemans (a British brand) you could try it as a substitute on its own or mix it with ginger.
