Chrain (Czech: křen, German: Meerrettich or Kren, Polish: chrzan, Romanian: hrean, Russian: хрен, tr. khren, Ukrainian: хрiн khrin, Yiddish: כריין‎, khreyn; meaning "horseradish" in all these languages) is a spicy paste made of grated horseradish. It is a common condiment for meat and fish dishes in Ashkenazi Jewish, Israeli, American Jewish, Argentine Jewish, Austrian, Slovene, northern Croatian, Belarusian, Czech, German (especially Bavarian), Polish, Romanian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Russian and Ukrainian cuisine.[1][2] The English word chrain comes from Yiddish כריין, which is in turn a loanword from Slavic languages.[2]
