Ways to use prepared horseradish? (Beyond beef and cocktail sauce!)

Does anyone have any creative uses for prepared horseradish? I love the stuff and like to add it to sandwiches/wraps/etc. but would love some new ideas. (I eat seafood but not other meats.)

    Excellent and easy: add horseradish to sour cream and dollop on fish, hot or cold.

      Added to marinara sauce, with sautéed jumbo shrimp on spaghetti

        Awesome in homemade cocktail sauce for shrimp, have to repeat that.
        I put a teaspoon into seafood stews I make, especially those with wine in the broths.
        Lobster dip.

        and heck yeah, it loves to play with mayo

            Beat with soft butter and some fresh herbs, spread on sliced baguette, put under broiler until bubbly and crisp. FANTASTIC!

              it's a secret to great mayo-based slaw.

                Slaw! Can't believe I haven't tried this yet. Thanks! With this and the soup above, I guess I'd completely neglected the cabbage/horseradish combo.

                I mix it with sour cream for a sandwich topping.

                Shredded beets with a bit of sour cream and touch of horseradish

                A touch in mashed potatoes.

                  Not sure what beef sauce is but we like to make horseradish sauce for our beef, maybe that's beef sauce? Some horseradish, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, garlic powder, white wine vinegar, dijon mustard, sour cream.

                      Interesting! Will definintely have to try this.

                        Most of my prepared horseradish goes into Bloody Mary's other than that

                        Brussels sprouts with horseradish sauce
                        Horseradish bread - yummy
                        Horseradish Macaroni and cheese - my kids used to love this.
                        Horseradish salad dressing
                        Horseradish crusts for steaks, prime ribs, even salmon
                        Borscht
                        Horseradish and tomatoes go well together, add it to tomato soup.
                        Deviled eggs
                        Potato cakes with Horseradish

                          Ooh, now I'm dreaming of roasting Brussels sprouts.

                          It's great with smoked salmon or other smoked fish, or added to a light sauce (e.g. with white wine and cream) for cooked fish.

                            I like it in cabbage soup, added just before/as you take it off the heat.

                              Excellent in mashed potatoes and potato salad.

                                These are what I opened the thread to add :) I love it along with sour cream and butter in the mash. Really, anything, especially something creamy, where you want a bit of a bite :)
                                Also mixed with mayonnaise and (optional) dijon mustard as a sandwich spread. It's great with turkey and swiss cheese or cheddar.

                                ETA: Whoops, just read your OP where you already use it in sandwiches.... and no meat...sorry!

                                  ...and something creamy such as polenta.

                                A little bit in deviled eggs and bloody mary's
