I just printed off a recipe for Sweet & Sour Chicken Wings from another cooking group and it calls for GRAINY mustard. I have never seen that in any recipe before, so I have to wonder what kind of mustard would be considered grainy?
For prepared mustard, I've always go French's on hand, which is very creamy, and also Dijon Grey Poupon, and wouldn't consider that to be grainy either, so this is a puzzler. I can't see that it would make a difference in the flavor of any recipe, whether it was grainy, or smooth?

Mustard with whole mustard seeds in it. Basically a normal mustard + whole seeds. Makes a bigger difference to the texture than the flavour. IMO, the flavour is different, but so are the flavours of different smooth mustards. If you don't have any, just use whatever mustard you like.

(Usually called "whole-grain mustard" here.)

it at any market. Coarse mustard is used in dishes where you want the
texture to be part of the presentation. Otherwise it tastes the same. For
example I like to serve roasted pork loins on a mustard sauce bed. I always
use coarse for this because it looks nice.

known brands that sell it.
There are lots of mustard types to choose from if "grainy" was the
only indication the recipe gave. Sounds like the writer was more
interested in texture than flavor, so use your smooth Grey Poupon and
it will be fine.

Living where I do, there are not a variety of stores here to shop at, and I've never seen any mustard on the shelves around that say "grainy mustard", nor have I ever come across a recipe before that called for it?! I only have two brands of mustard on hand in my house and neither are grainy, so seeing this in a recipe for chicken wings did puzzle me....the same as you puzzle me in your many posts about foods you like, don't like, can't eat, won't eat, and some of the various varieties of dishes you prepare. I've never run into anybody quite like you, IMO.

If you can't find some locally, these are my favorites:

Koops also seems to make private label mustards in that same container. They
are located in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. Wisconsin is also the home of the National Mustard Museum, just west of Madison.

kid... not a lot of variety. I was familiar with whole grain mustard
when I was a kid, not because my mother kept it in the house (we used
French's yellow, nothing else) but because my grandparents used
various kinds of mustard they'd bring home from their adventures and
one was a burning hot whole grain/coarse ground German mustard. Not
sure if I'd consider it hot as an adult, but I could barely eat it

How much time have you spend living in Alaska? We don't have many of the stores the posters in here talk about, such as Trader Joe's, at least in the area where I've lived my entire life. I don't shop online as a rule (except from Amazon.com) and instead of searching through Google for it, I thought I would ask the more knowledgeable folks in here. I'm 73 years old (next week) and have been cooking and baking since I was 9 and this is the first time I'd ever run across a recipe calling specifically for "grainy" mustard, so of course, I was curious.

Most recipes call for dry (which I use a lot of in my cooking) or they call for prepared. Occasionally I will see a recipe for "spicy" mustard and I have bought that on rare occasions too, but I've never noticed any brand of mustard here that said "grainy" on it. so that's why I was puzzled.
No, I don't watch any cooking show on TV...what has that got to do with my original question? Surely you don't get any ideas from watching these shows, going by the style of cooking you do, and knowing that the majority of ingredients you (or your husband and daughter) don't like, or are allergic to?

I still think it is hot. I occasionally run across surprisingly hot mustard.
I am a relatively recent convert to grainy mustard. I started using it a
few years ago and it has replaced prepared mustard for just about
everything I would normally have mustard on. I have a bottle of prepared
mustard in the fridge but I have been through at least a half dozen jars
of grainy mustard in the time the prepared stuff has been in my fridge.

Hate to burst your bubble, but a. all mustard is prepared, and b.
most of the mustard prepared in the world is made from Canadian
mustard seeds. That moutarde de Meaux you are eating? It was
grown in Saskatchewan.
French's mustard the pinheads wanted to boycott at the start of the
Iraqi debacle? Grown in Canada...never went anywhere near France
unless it was transported by sea and drifted near St-Pierre et
Miquelon.
It's the same with Italian pasta. It's made with CWAD (Canadian
Wheat Amber Durum).

Spicy, would be brown deli mustard?

generally used term to describe the moist jarred product when called
for in recipes and in cookbooks. The term has been common for quite a
while to differentiate it from dry mustard, which is also a common

It's been ages since I've bought the spicy mustard, but it was on the shelf at Fred Meyer in the condiment section, and don't recall the brand, but I didn't think it did more for the recipe than good ol' Dijon's Grey Poupon would do. I really like using that in most all main dishes and is good mixed into hamburgers or meat loaf too.

How much time have you spend living in Alaska? We don't have many of the
stores the posters in here talk about, such as Trader Joe's, at least in the
area where I've lived my entire life. I don't shop online as a rule (except
from Amazon.com) and instead of searching through Google for it, I thought I
would ask the more knowledgeable folks in here. I'm 73 years old (next week)
and have been cooking and baking since I was 9 and this is the first time
I'd ever run across a recipe calling specifically for "grainy" mustard, so
of course, I was curious.
I've never been there and never wanted to go there. I just find it odd that
at your age you never heard of it before. It's commonly used in delis and
I've been using recipes that called for it for many years. Then again, my
dad and husband both love mustard very much and I'm always looking for new
ones. Husband didn't like the bacon mustard though.
---
Most recipes call for dry (which I use a lot of in my cooking) or they call
for prepared. Occasionally I will see a recipe for "spicy" mustard and I
have bought that on rare occasions too, but I've never noticed any brand of
mustard here that said "grainy" on it. so that's why I was puzzled.
I have not found too many recipes that call for dry outside of egg salad or
deviled eggs. Actually some baked beans do. But just as many call for
prepared. I've made a variety of salads and dressings that call for all
sorts of mustard and meat recipes that called for grainy mustard.
---
No, I don't watch any cooking show on TV...what has that got to do with my
original question? Surely you don't get any ideas from watching these shows,
going by the style of cooking you do, and knowing that the majority of
ingredients you (or your husband and daughter) don't like, or are allergic
to?
What it's got to do with it is that they commonly use grainy mustard as an
ingredient on cooking shows. And yes, I get plenty of ideas from the
cooking shows. I have posted here of needing the Amarena (sp?) cherries for
the baked apple recipe from Lydia Bastianich. We liked the apples but did
not like the cherries. Also the Farro salad from Martha Stewart. Husband
loved that but we did not. Also posted of the vegan fudge from Christina
Pirello. I make that once or twice a month now with some of my own
modifications.
Just what style of cooking do I do? *boggles* And what am I allergic to?
Daughter and I hav food intolerances. I have gastroparesis and husband has
gout. That does affect what we can and can't eat. But why would it stop me
from watching cooking shows? Even as a vegetarian I watched Julia Child
prepare meat! Even though I didn't eat it myself, I sometimes made it for
guests and it's good to know how to make it.

Yes, that is very true, as we always get "socked" extra when ordering from here, and I sure as heck wouldn't bother to order mustard online, as that would really be a silly thing to do, when the flavor isn't going to be that much different if I use another type of mustard, even if it isn't "grainy". I've been cooking for over 60 years and have done well without that certain mustard, so no big deal.

I do order from Amazon.com a lot, but that's because I can get it postage-free.
I also don't like throwing my credit card numbers out there online either. My daughter went to a site that was unfamiliar and her numbers were used by an employee and they charged over $2000 overnight on her card.

of 50.00 for life. I've really never ordered anything from Amazon that
wasn't over 25.00 so it has saved me a lot of money in shipping and handling

I have been ordering from Amazon about 6 years, and never paid them any certain amount in order to get free shipping, so all I know when I place an order from them, I don't pay postage on most items. If any item has to come from another destination, then there can be postage added, but I have the option whether to cancel those item(s) or accept the small amount of postage, and if I want it bad enough, I will accept, but the majority of what I order, that comes direct from Amazon, is definitely FREE shopping, and no gimmicks attached.

conditions (like a $25 minimum order - down from a standard $50, which
was required even when the economy was well into the current
recession). I know this because I pay attention to added on shipping
costs and count them as what I am paying for the merchandise and it's
also why I still do not like to order over the internet - because the
cost is higher than it would be if I went to a brick and mortar store
(yes, I factor in gas and I won't cross a bridge for anything because

there now. They have other vendors who sell through them. Some have what
they call an "add on" item. Ships free provided you order $25 of stuff in
addition that qualify for the free shipping. Some of those other vendors
charge a fortune for shipping. Not all grocery items are available from
Amazon themselves. If you pay the yearly fee of just over $70 you can get
what they call free two day shipping. I wouldn't personally call it free
because you do have to pay that fee to get it. But... Since I order from

She hasn't proven anything because it's not true and neither is what *you*
said. If you get Prime, it is just over $70 per year. I just signed up for
that. This allows you two day shipping. Otherwise with a $25 order you get
free shipping if you select it. I think the time frame on that is 5-8 days.
It all depends on where the item ships from. Even though I am in the
Seattle area, I sometimes get the things more slowly than when I lived in
NY. Now when I ordered the wildlife cams, I needed them right away so I
paid more to get them quicker. Also did the same with binoculars that
Angela and her dad needed for some school thing. They told us three days
prior that we needed them. Could not find them in any store! Not cheap
ones anyway. But could find online. I don't mind paying extra shipping
for something like that.

As I posted to Cheri, I have been ordering from them for around 6 years (at least) and have never paid any kind of fee whatsoever, but for the most part, my orders are postage-free to me, unless are coming from a separate destination, then they will let me know what amount of postage they will charge, but if I don't agree, I can delete that order, which most times I do, unless it's something I really want. My daughters (also in Alaska) also get free shipping when they order, I just thought every customer did?!

Not sure that I bought much from them 10 years ago. Were they still only
selling books back then? That was the time frame when I never read any
books. Unless it was a kid's book and to Angela. Actually she would have
been 5 then and could read most books herself. I think one of the first
things they added was toys. I do remember getting something in NY. I think
it was a doll bed or something. I somehow got a gift certificate for them.
I do remember ordering a few toys from them and perhaps books for Angela.
It was only after they expanded what they sold that I began ordering a lot
from them.
I don't really mind shopping in brick and mortar stores. But... I don't
have all sorts of time to run to 5-6 different stores in a day and I won't
go to the mall unless I have no choice. I do hate having to go from store
to store looking for some specific thing. That sort of thing is easier to
buy online, I think.
There is a grocery store near Angela's dance studio. While she is there, I
can run to that store if I need something. No problem. But there are a lot
of things that we eat/buy that this particular store does not sell. There
is also a Costco down the road from them but by several miles so if need be
and she is going to be in the studio for a couple of hours, I can go there.
But it is far enough away that it does take me a couple of hours to shop and
get back there.
Now she is going to driving school in another city. So when I am out there,
there are a few stores I can choose from to shop at. There is also the mall
but as I said, I won't go there.
Other than that, any shopping I do must either be by where my mom or dad
lives and I am visiting there or... It is a planned or emergency trip that
takes me out of my way by anywhere from 2-7 miles. Occasionally more.
Last night I realized that I needed more Now! cat food. I only know of one
store that sells it here. And I wasn't planning to be in that area. So I
went ahead and ordered it online. Might have paid more online. Not sure
since I don't remember what I normally pay. And I got the 16 pound bag and
that's bigger than I usually get. But now both cats are eating it. Bali
didn't like dry food. And it save me a trip from going to the store. Plus
free shipping.
But then? As luck would have it... I didn't take Angela to school. Her
dad did. So I had to totally rethink my shopping plan and wound up going to
a store that was close to the pet store. Ah, it's always something.
I do think that online shopping saves me time though. And driving. And
wear and tear on my van.
selling books back then? That was the time frame when I never read any

been 5 then and could read most books herself. I think one of the first
things they added was toys. I do remember getting something in NY. I think
it was a doll bed or something. I somehow got a gift certificate for them.
I do remember ordering a few toys from them and perhaps books for Angela.
It was only after they expanded what they sold that I began ordering a lot
from them.
I don't really mind shopping in brick and mortar stores. But... I don't
have all sorts of time to run to 5-6 different stores in a day and I won't
go to the mall unless I have no choice. I do hate having to go from store
to store looking for some specific thing. That sort of thing is easier to
buy online, I think.
There is a grocery store near Angela's dance studio. While she is there, I
can run to that store if I need something. No problem. But there are a lot
of things that we eat/buy that this particular store does not sell. There
is also a Costco down the road from them but by several miles so if need be
and she is going to be in the studio for a couple of hours, I can go there.
But it is far enough away that it does take me a couple of hours to shop and
get back there.
Now she is going to driving school in another city. So when I am out there,
there are a few stores I can choose from to shop at. There is also the mall
but as I said, I won't go there.
Other than that, any shopping I do must either be by where my mom or dad
lives and I am visiting there or... It is a planned or emergency trip that
takes me out of my way by anywhere from 2-7 miles. Occasionally more.
Last night I realized that I needed more Now! cat food. I only know of one
store that sells it here. And I wasn't planning to be in that area. So I
went ahead and ordered it online. Might have paid more online. Not sure
since I don't remember what I normally pay. And I got the 16 pound bag and
that's bigger than I usually get. But now both cats are eating it. Bali
didn't like dry food. And it save me a trip from going to the store. Plus
free shipping.
But then? As luck would have it... I didn't take Angela to school. Her
dad did. So I had to totally rethink my shopping plan and wound up going to
a store that was close to the pet store. Ah, it's always something.
I do think that online shopping saves me time though. And driving. And
wear and tear on my van.

As I posted to Cheri, I have been ordering from them for around 6 years (at
least) and have never paid any kind of fee whatsoever, but for the most
part, my orders are postage-free to me, unless are coming from a separate
destination, then they will let me know what amount of postage they will
charge, but if I don't agree, I can delete that order, which most times I
do, unless it's something I really want. My daughters (also in Alaska) also
get free shipping when they order, I just thought every customer did?!
They do. She's wrong.

They very well might now, but they didn't used to. Are you saying that even
on orders under 25 dollars it's still free? If that's true, it's quite a
bargain, but some places do ship free to Alaska due to high costs for
customers.

advantage of free shipping. I have never placed an order for under $25, as my orders to Amazon are usually never less than $100, as are for the grandchildren's birthdays, or Christmas, etc., as they all have "Wish Lists" on there, so is a good way for me to shop. When I put the first item in my cart, a message comes up, that I qualify for "free shipping".
Now that I think about it, last Dec. they sent me a E-mail about a special sale, that I could order the last season of "Downton Abby" and I know it was under $25 and no shipping. I couldn't pass that up, as finally started watching that show around that time, and got addicted to it shortly.

I once ordered a large pack of bobby pins because I could get 300 from them
for less than I'd pay for a small pack at the drugstore. That was only about
$2.00. I think I ordered some books to bump it up to the minimum. Or maybe
some other hair things. I don't remember. They sell pretty much everything

Uh, no. Lemme put up a link to their website.

"With FREE Super Saver Shipping, you receive free shipping if your order
includes at least $25 of qualifying merchandise, excluding gift-wrap and
taxes. Eligible items will display "eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping"
next to their price. If sold individually, they must qualify for the $25
minimum purchase independently of each Product Bundle in your purchase.
Certain oversize items, e-documents, software downloads, music downloads and
gift cards don't qualify."
You see? $25 or more of qualifying items gives you free shipping. You are
starting to sound like that woman on the commercial who says that she has to
add stuff to her order that she doesn't need just to get free shipping. Now
that might be the case with some places. But with Amazon, they sell sooo
many things, it's not hard at all to add to the order. I might get a cat
toy, some sort of food, a book, the list goes on and on. At other places
like Drugstore, K Mart or Walmart I will usually look in the paper products
to see what is on sale. I might get those or some supplements. Or I think
of upcoming birthdays and often can find a present for someone. It isn't
rocket science and it is very true! But you do have to tick the box for the
Super Saver shipping to get it.
This will not apply to me now because I have the Prime. Now I will always
get the 2 day shipping. I won't say that it's free like they claim because
I do have to pay a yearly fee. But... It's an option. You don't have to
have that.
Also, not all items qualify for the Super Saver shipping. For instance, I
recently wanted a food item that I could not find in the stores here. They
had quite a lot of it listed but none from them. All from other vendors
that sell from them. I still opted to get it and chose the one that offered
me the most food for the cheapest shipping. It was all good, except that I
ate it all and now have none.

saving"????? Please Julie, grow a brain.
shipping being free.
Prime.... which also means shipping is NOT FREE. The only thing it
means is that you don't have to pay more than the original charge.
shipping is NOT free if you don't *subscribe* to Prime and order less
than $25 worth of merchandise at a time.

dirt cheap and we go through tons of bobby pins in this house. So I am much

No SF, I did no such thing. Orders that are $25 or more can ship for free
if you buy qualifying items. If you can't come up with enough stuff that
you might need to amount to $25 then it must really suck to be you.

Yeah. And there's probably not a person on the face of this earth who would
do that but you. I don't have to justify anything. I buy what I need and
if I can't find it in a store, I get it online. I'm also not going to go
from store to store to store to look for something when I can find it in
sometimes as little as 5 minutes online.

Same here. I generally only go into a store if I need something right away
or to kill time. Like when Angela is at the dance studio or the driving
school. I rarely ever find gifts in brick and mortar stores. What most of
them sell can be gotten pretty much anywhere. Little boutiques can have
more rare stuff but that sort of stuff is only appealing to some people.
I can almost always find what I want online and find it fast.
Of course I do have to get some groceries in the brick and mortar stores. I
did have a home delivery once. That was fine then. We were stuck here
snowed in. But grocery delivery is different. You have to stay home for
it. That's something I wouldn't be able to do very easily.

and then nothing happens. I went through that when my husband retired and
trying to cancel Sirius, it took about 3 months before it actually
cancelled. Once in awhile I will subcribe to a magazine and I always write a
check for the year at the time so no automatic renewal. One of the worst
experiences was trying to cancel Jerry Baker books, and Time Life Music...
they just kept coming until I had to pull the credit card and cancel it.

drive all the way to the stupidmarket just to spend $10. I can always
reach the $25 at Amazon, I simply place items into my cart over a few
days... and anyway in today's economy $25 is chump change. And even
if I pay shipping on an inexpensive item it's like $4, takes more than
$4 in gas to warm up my car.

A lot of idocy. I've been shopping at Amazon for like 15 years and
>sf are yammering about.
have never paid for shipping nor have I paid any fee. All I do is
simply buy more than $25 worth at a clip, which couldn't be easier to
do... in fact it's not easy to find much that costs less than $25. And
for low cost items I put them in my "Wish List" and add them to more
expensive purchases... but many times I reach the $25 by buying two of
something... if it's worth buying one it's worth buying more than one,
especially food items... before I'll pay shipping I'll pay for that
second bag of candy. Amazon typically makes suggestions of similar
items that complement each other and at a nice discount, especially
snack items like gummy bears, or pretzels. About two weeks ago I
ordered a package of Haribo licorice wheels, I ordered their
suggestion of Twizzlers too, to bring the price over $25... I happen
to like black licorice.

Oh yes. I made the mistake of signing up for a book club once. Then I got
some books in the mail from Good Old Days that I didn't order. They were of
no interest to me and expensive. When I called, they claimed that when I
ordered cookbook some time ago I had given them permission to send me other
books, seemingly randomly. They did not charge me for them but expected
payment upon delivery. We went round and round and I finally won. They
told me to just give the books back and forget about it.

have a list of many other places to shop for specialty items, like
clothing, shoes, tools, food products...
Naturally I still go to stupidmarkets for foods; today I went to the
market in town to buy a boneless pork loin on sale at $1.99/lb. I
picked an eleven pounder and the butcher sliced it into two roasts and
some steaks for free. I was there pretty early this morning (7:30
AM), there was a slew of manager's specials in the meat case, I picked
a dozen very nice thick cut pork loin chops at half price ($2.19/lb).
I added like 18 pounds of nice pork to my freezer. Also dropped over
$500 between BJ's and Walmart today. $500 doesn't buy many groceries
these days, I don't know how Democrats make it.
