Some market stalls grate the horseradish fresh table-side — it loses its bite within minutes, so nobody preps it ahead of time.

Grilled smoked sausages are served with a sharp, creamy horseradish sauce and mămăligă or bread, a plate that shows up at markets and fairs across Banat's ethnically mixed towns.

Why it's made this way: Horseradish cream is a German and Central European pairing that took root in Banat through its Swabian settler communities and stuck around as local comfort food.
