A Different Type Of Treasure In Illinois

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Illinois horseradish capital of America

The Land of Lincoln has more than 1,800 acres — about half the nation's total — of the whitish root under production, dwarfing the closest state, Pennsylvania, which had a meager 8 acres.

All that sauce has to come from somewhere. Some do treasure it, too.

I'm about 10 miles from Collinsville ... the self-proclaimed horseradish capital. There's a festival every year and they sell beer ... what's more can I say.

I just had about a 1/4 cup of hot horseradish on my ham sandwich for lunch. I love that stuff.
