I loved this recipe! I had left over roast beef so instead of deli sliced roast beef I just cut some of my left over roast up and used it. I also put a few raw onions in the pita and used a little extra horseradish. Will definately make it again!

I really liked this! But I added about triple the amount of horseradish suppose to be in it, plus added a little salt and pepper to the mix. We liked it!

I was alittle disapointed felt like it was missing something. My husband liked it. I usually like more spice or should I say hotter, maybe it was abit too bland for my taste.

I like the pita sandwich idea, but the sauce was not very tasty! I liek the idea of a whipped cream cheese better (see 2/25/08 rating)

I was in a rush and didn't make the sauce - but I did use some whipped cream cheese that I spread on the pita first (my pita didn't have a pocket). Then I put the roast beef on and some chopped up tomatoes and a little lettuce and folded the sandwich in half. Tasted great. I will definitely try the full sauce sometime.
