Do you like mustard?

[Stanley Edwards]

If so, what mustard is your favourite?


Poll I think.

 

[Badgers]

Omelettes with mustard

 

[DexterTCN]

I like english mustard with pickled herring, (rollmops,) or spread thick on gammon sprinkled with sugar and grilled, and on hot dogs with tomato sauce.

Dijon with cookingy stuff.

My dad used to get something called Thomy Senf .. it came in like a toothpaste tube and it was lush... might have been French, can't really remember.

Is Spain really this boring?

 

[8115]

Wholegrain or dijon with cooking, depends on mood.

French's mustard in sandwiches, ie cheese, gherkin, mayo and mustard sandwich

 

[Firky]

English or GTFO.

Dijon is just so... je ne sais pas. Tepid and limp.

 

[harpo]

I voted yes but that's because I like French mustards. English mustard is pointless. Bitter, aggressively hot and without any real depth of flavour. I've really tried to enjoy it but I can't.

 

[8115]

When people ask for mustard at work, and I ask them what kind, I always know before they answer what they're going to say. Especially with English mustard. You can spot people a mile off.

Europe as a whole is. Swathes of people do nothing but swap opinions. Not very productive.

Make your own, bit of double cream with it and brown sugar.

 

[yaketyyak]

Love the Colman's English Mustard but it simply has to be on a brown sandwich with good quality ham and some very ripe cherry toms (off the vine)
I concur with 8115 regarding the cooking mustards. Honey and mustard chicken is nomerlisciousness.

There's something very wrong with the blend of flavours in English mustard. I don't think turning it into a pudding would help.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Best mustard ever:

 

[yaketyyak]

That looks like it would go well with a Bratwurst.

 

[Firky]

Honey and mustard chicken is nomerlisciousness.

I once got food poisoning from cooking honey and mustard chicken, well over ten years ago, still can't bring myself to eat it.

But yes, ham and mustard were made to go together.

You're very touchy about nationality at the moment. Even on threads about mustard.

No: the issue was about Stanley starting a crop of threads on the internet, when he's sitting in Spain. Is Spain so boring that this is preferable?

 

[harpo]

American mustard is good in that it is a tempered, tamed version of English mustard and therefore, when you see yellow mustard coming towards you in an eating situation, you're glad that it's American not English. It's probably what Firky was referring to earlier with the cream and sugar advice.

French mustard is on a higher plane.

Bit judgemental. You may ask yourself if where you are is so boring.

What nonsense is this? Are people in Spain not meant to discuss mustard? It's not Stanley's fault if your best mustard looks like the sort of stuff you'd get in a bargain bucket in Asda.

 

[harpo]

But back on the subject, I'd be interested to hear about other mustards.

I'm just procratinating before picking up the drycleaning, and buying supplies for the Thanksgiving dinner.

Also, I'm in Canada, not Spain? If I was in Spain, I'd be drinking sangria, and doing the tarantella down at the bodega with my seniorita, muchacho.

 

[Voley]

My favourite. Dijon is very nice, too. I also like grainy mustard for cooking roasts etc. Roast pork with loads of grainy mustard rubbed in is great.

Have you heard of French's in the squeeze bottle?

 

[Orang Utan]

I have liked all the mustards I have tried so far.
I quite like the really sharp ones as they give a bit of a unique zinging in your brain that you can almost feel hit the back of your skull. It's a bit of a rush.

 

[Voley]

He lives there, he's not on holiday. If I lived in Canada I wouldn't act like I was there for a fortnight. I wouldn't spend the whole time dressed up as a mountie and congratulating myself that I'm not American or whatever the hell else it is you do.

 

[yaketyyak]

I also buzz off being daring with the Colmens. (Oooh matron)

If I were in Canada I'd be on a skiiing moose playing ice hockey.
