Reply To: Stuffing Your Face w/ Marror, Red as a Tomato

The history of horseradish as marror was investigated thoroughly by a well known talmid chochom agricultural expert almost thirty years ago. He proved that horseradish is not marror, and traced the gradual acceptance of it in northern European Ashkenazic communities where there was no better alternative. Now that we know more, all should use romaine lettuce or what we simply call Hasah, period. The bitter part is the root.
