I love mustard in any form or flavor and use it as an ingredient in many things besides sandwiches. I have a dill mustard that's great mixed with mayo for pasta or potato salad. I love cranberry mustard on a chicken salad sandwich. I dip French fries in spicy hot mustard, add regular yellow mustard when making baked beans, and when I was a teenager, ate peanut butter on crackers with mustard. It's one of my favorite condiments.

I married a man who hated mustard, but after 43 years of marriage, he will now eat honey mustard on some things. Small steps.

Cranberry mustard on a chicken salad sandwich sounds delicious.

I guess I can relate to that. I wasn't crazy about mustard as a kid.

I hated it as a kid also, but I guess my tastebuds changed when I became an adult.

I use prepared mustard for some things, but not as a condiment on
sandwiches. As you say, a little goes a long way.

If I didn't have Grey Poupon Dijon mustard in the fridge, my life would
be diminished. I am continuously irked that no one stocks anything but
the 8-oz jar. I found the 24-oz jar once. But I think I'd be better
served by the 48-oz jar.

I note in snooping on the topic, that mustard doesn't seem to so
difficult to make:

"Grind mustard in spice mill (I mix spicey black and milder yellow) add
vinegar, you're done. Mustard seeds can be bought cheaply at Indian
Groceries. Then you can spend a lifetime tuning the recipe with
different recipes a little white wines, spices, etc"

That's sure got me thinking...

I have been using Deli and other grainy mustards for the last couple
years. It is so good that I tend to use a lot more of it than I would
with prepared mustard. I have to keep replenishing my supply.

Yeah: That's me. We always have 3 or 4 kinds of mustards on the fridge
door; curious German mustards, whole-seed mustards, etc.

Just a thin scrape of mustard is sufficient on a ham sandwich.
Most other sandwiches don't need mustard.

There's no accounting for taste. I like (my) potato salad quite a bit,
but rarely make it. It needs a touch of mustard.

Mustard in chicken salad? Nasty.

Well, I know that there are people who actively dislike mustard.

The question that should be asked is why do people like mustard? The
taste is quite similar to biting into an aspirin.

I'm not a big fan but it's amazing how mustard can enhance a dish when
added in small amounts. Somehow, it can plug up a small hole in the
flavor of a dish and elevate it. It's one of my secret weapons of mass
destruction.

I use a dijon type mustard for baking pork loin chops or a pork
tenderloin. Brush the mustard on, dredge in breadcrumbs with minced
garlic, salt & pepper. It's quite nice. :) Otherwise, I don't use
jarred mustard.

I can't imagine it. It's a "mustard delivery system" as far as I'm
concerned. So is oden, though with what we think of as "Chinese
mustard".

I've been experimenting more and more with pan sauces in the past year.
I've started putting dollop of dijon in occasionally if I'm adding
white wine and it's been mighty tasty.

An interesting way to say "I don't like". If you really consider the
taste of mustard the same as chewing aspirin, you have some really
palate education left to go.

Try a few aspirin next time, and see if you get the same effect! ;-)

I never said that I don't like mustard. One of my favorite dishes is won
ton soup, without Chinese mustard and shoyu, there would be no point in
eating it. I'm just asking what seems to me to be a logical question.

Those ARE prepared mustards... UNprepared mustards are mustard
seeds/powders, maybe mustard greens. With your knowledge of mustard
you'd benefit from packing your pointyhead in Musterole. LOL

[Brooklyn1]

I see nothing odd about mustard with peanuts... many oriental dishes
contain both peanuts and mustard... I've been eating Chinese
restaurant food that contained peanuts with oriental hot mustard since
forever.

Anyway, I bought five 5 lb bags of unsalted in shell roasted peanuts
today, winter is nigh and birds gotta eat. BJ's has 5 lb bags of
peanuts for $6. Bluejays are the ultimate peanut eaters, every
morning along with their bird seed they get a pile of peanuts.

[Dave Smith]

You are a little slow on that one, and if you had been paying attention
you would have seen that "prepared mustard" generally refers to yellow,
American, ball park mustard.

It ain't a ham n' swiss without mustard. Can't have a genoa salami
hero without mustard. And no Kraut would think of braunschwieger
without mustard. Mustard is the most often used spice on the planet,
also the least expensive spice. I love mustard, but I HATE poop-on, I
think it's an abomination.

They are but in general the term "prepared mustard" refers to the cheap

I agree with Sheldon on this one. Bright yellow "ball park" mustard
isn't what I think of when I think of prepared mustard. Any bottled or
jarred mustard (dijon, etc) falls into the prepapred mustard category IMHO.

Different mustards taste like different things. Mostly I enjoy them.
Biting an aspirin tastes flat and bitter, it's not the kind of taste
I'd want on any of the many things I like to eat with mustard for
instance.

It tastes terrible. But taste is relative; for some robitussin or cat
urine could be an ingredient "when used in small amounts". Not me!

Ay caramba! I never said that I liked the taste of aspirin. It's pretty
well documented that humans have brains that are wired to avoid foods
that are bitter tasting. The reasons for this are well known. Feel free
to make personal remarks about my sense of taste and imply things that
are not true but the reality is that my question is a valid one - just
not in this group, evidently.

I must disagree. Both my husband and dad are mustard lovers so I have
bought most everything out there over the course of the years. Am currently
looking for a cranberry mustard for my mom. She said she bought it locally
but she can't remember where and I can't find it. I know I sent her some
and also my MIL when I lived on Cape Cod. Very hot stuff that was. I used
it on some turkey sandwiches and I could barely eat them.

But when listed in a recipe as "prepared mustard" the cheap yellow stuff is
what I assume they mean. Otherwise they will say "Dijon", "Grainy" or
whatever kind they mean.

It's certainly what I think of. I have bought Dijon or Grainy because a

I must disagree too, Steve. For me, a prepared mustard is a small tea
pot, holding no more than say 10 oz, in a light-hearted color, which is
stored for decorative use only under a old and very worn picture of Don
Ameche.

I know that. But when I see the term "prepared" in a recipe, I still think
cheap yellow. I say this because other recipes specifically mention the
type of mustard such as Dijon.

[sockmo...@comcast.net]

Julie, Hickory Farms makes a cranberry mustard, it isn't hot. I can usually buy it at WalMart locally. One time I opened a can of Ocean Spray whole berry cranberry sauce and mixed a little with regular yellow mustard. It was really good on a sharp cheddar grilled cheese sandwich.

We have our first grilled cheese sandwich shop in the area. I love the one they call The Grace Potter. Sharp and extra sharp cheddar, grilled onions, bacon and hot pepper jelly on thick wheat bread. Yum! I sort of duplicate it at home now, using my home made hot pepper relish, but I add a just a little regular mustard.

Earlier in this thread, I was asked if peanut butter and mustard was a regional thing, no, I was just an odd kid. I also preferred my morning toast with butter and ketchup, ate only ketchup on my spaghetti, and wouldn't sit in the same room with an onion. Now I use onions in almost everything I cook and make great spaghetti sauce, but I still love ketchup on my toast.

Another weird thing I do with mustard is fry up some hamburg and onions, drain fat, add any cheese you like, (for this I like Velveeta), a good squirt of ketchup and a small squirt of mustard, let it all melt together, then mix it with cooked macaroni. I first made this when I was 15 years old. It kind of tastes like a McDonald's cheeseburger mixed with pasta. Before you food purists ream me a new one (like I'd care), remember I was 15.

A young cousin thought he hated ketchup, but he just had a vocabulary problem, He thought mustard was the ketchup and vice versa - figured it out when he was about 10 and could read bottle labels.

I keep about 4 kinds on hand. I used to like Stone Kitchen mustards, esp the nice square jars which I kept for storage. A set makes a nice gift ( no affiliation).

You cited me as the person who wrote that, but I didn't.

Learn to read and quote for context. I didn't say a damn thing about
sex in this thread.

No I did not; you have misread it yet again. I edited it quite
specifically to say (look above and you'll see it with your eyes): "On

I added some mustard to baked beans the other day. Well it was an aoili
garlic mustard sauce. Nice.

Julie, Hickory Farms makes a cranberry mustard, it isn't hot. I can usually
buy it at WalMart locally. One time I opened a can of Ocean Spray whole
berry cranberry sauce and mixed a little with regular yellow mustard. It
was really good on a sharp cheddar grilled cheese sandwich.

---

Ah! I will look there. I normally shop online at Walmart and the stores
here don't seem to stock Hickory Farms all the time but I'll look for that.

---

We have our first grilled cheese sandwich shop in the area. I love the one
they call The Grace Potter. Sharp and extra sharp cheddar, grilled onions,
bacon and hot pepper jelly on thick wheat bread. Yum! I sort of duplicate
it at home now, using my home made hot pepper relish, but I add a just a
little regular mustard.

---

Interesting!

Earlier in this thread, I was asked if peanut butter and mustard was a
regional thing, no, I was just an odd kid. I also preferred my morning
toast with butter and ketchup, ate only ketchup on my spaghetti, and
wouldn't sit in the same room with an onion. Now I use onions in almost
everything I cook and make great spaghetti sauce, but I still love ketchup
on my toast.

Another weird thing I do with mustard is fry up some hamburg and onions,
drain fat, add any cheese you like, (for this I like Velveeta), a good
squirt of ketchup and a small squirt of mustard, let it all melt together,
then mix it with cooked macaroni. I first made this when I was 15 years
old. It kind of tastes like a McDonald's cheeseburger mixed with pasta.
Before you food purists ream me a new one (like I'd care), remember I was
15.

Hmmm... Well, some mac and cheese recipes have mustard.

I always put mustard in with baked beans. It works quite well. It plugs
up a flavor hole in the sweetness of the beans. Thanks.

I'm no bitching at all, it's you that bitching. I was just trying to
educate you about what you areerrantly bitching about. I simply
modified it to read "quote", which you did. That's not a complaint,
it's a rebuttal.

And now quoting it again, just as I said before. The next few lines
are you quoting, just as before:

And you quoted it all again, which is exactly what I said before.
You're apparently confused about the differences between what you write
and what you quote before you responde to it.

I can't educate you any further. Carry on.

Please tell me what the "good stuff" is supposed to be. I've bought
what comes in a bag, cooked it in apple juice just because people here
said that was the thing to do and still didn't like it.
