Which Mustard?

ecksor

The crucial question here I think is "English or French?" although I've put in a few more options. Please mention which brands you like and what you like to put it on too.

Lady

NEITHER

ecksor

Well, I think it's all good, but I had to lean towards English in the end and even put a big dollop of it on a nice ham sandwich for myself as I posted. mmmh.

Atari Jaguar, because I'm not fond of either type. German seed mustard is clearly the only choice.

I find french mustard rather bland.

What are your opinions on more exotic mustards like guinness mustard.

I loathe Dijonaisse, but that's probably more suited to the Mayonaisse forum.

ecksor

I think Dijonnaise needs a thread to itself actually.

i like that dalkey mustard,,, has a **** load of seads in it...

Amz

Fave mustard is German

It's yummy on Weisswurst and stuff...

Mmm...

German mustard is tangy, does anyone else make their mustard fresh from colemans mustard powder, i find a few lines of it in the morning perk me right up.

American style/French's mustard is ok now and again on hotdogs/burgers, but it's far from preferential.

Colman's English Mustard - powdered.
Mix up a bit a few minutes before you need to apply it to your sandwich/chips/meat.
You put care into mixing it by hand and you can vary the consistency to your own taste or the particular application.

The ready-made stuff is handy to have when you need that instant mustard hit.

If you feel like you're snorting steam out your nostrils (much like the clever advertising mechanism of the Bull in the logo) you've got a good batch.

Colmans English mustard in a jar... mmmm.

Vive la French mustard!

Amercian style Deli/Hotdog mustard for me

ecksor

I have a bottle of that in the fridge. Not too bad, not completely made up my mind on it though. I probably need to get a few decent sized sausages to properly try it out.

Some of these guys might be able to sort you out.

Seamie

English. But not too much. Mustard should only be used sparingly, lest it become overpowering. A bit like... Erm... Something that overpowers if used too much... cocaine maybe... Mmm, cocaine on a hot dog...

fitz

Where's the wholegrain option Ecksor you big dancing mustard fairy!

i second this

English clearly, just enough bite to make it intresting. Powdered colemans is, as has been mentioned above, the all-round winner of the category for sheer versatility.

Amz

As a kid as a punishment my mam would put a teaspoon of colman's mustard powder on my tongue and make me keep it there for about a minute.

As a result I will not touch the stuff.

I found a novel way of avoiding the punishment though, I discovered that if I chucked the contents of the tin down the loo it made my life a lot more pleasant as it was too much effort to go to the shop and replace it each time.

But yeah... still wont go near it.

Yocky! Yocky! stuff!

Duffman

Dalkey Mustard is teh win...

Stark

Shouldn't you get a ban for suggesting American mustard? Disgusting stuff, hardly any flavour off it, it's just like thick yellow piss. Goddamn Americans, why do they have to do everything half-arsed, right down to watering down their cheese even?

Colman's mustard. Yum yum yum.

ecksor

Most of the american mustards (or certainly the very popular ones) have a sweetening agent that I can't remember the name of right now. Plenty of information around the Internet about it right now though as French's Mustard (which has been mentioned by a good few people on the board) was 100 years old last Friday.

tman

damn this forum!:p

i'm now the proud owner of some freshly sliced ham and a jar of Dijon mustard.

gonna have to try it in a salami sandwich next time:)

Stark

Ah yes, should have said that sugar intake is one thing that Americans don't do half-arsed

just some colemans stuff that i bought on the spur of the moment in my local supermarket.
should've shopped around really (if the mayonaise you can buy in health food shops is anything to go by, their mustard must be yummeh!)

Didn't know there was a dalkey mustard so I picked up a jar on the way home. Very nice! Quite mild.

From the jar, "Ingredients: Mustard Seed, Honey, Wine Vinegar, Spices, Sea Salt. No Additives".

well, the only mustard I like is after hours Mustard

I cant eat anything that has even been near mustard...it is just too yucky for my taste.

tman

a flagrant disregard for the rules of this forum.
we need a *custard forum for people like you

Colman // Coleman

Let me reiterate the difference.
The former is a brand of especially nice English mustard.
The name is generally of English origin (though there has been cases of anglicisation/typos leading to cross-over).
The Latter is the surname of yours truely.
It is a Cork name. It alludes to a perference for a certain brand of mustard, but nothing more.

i have english mustard on my beef and lamb

french mustard on the pork and ham

Coveran own brand(the shop that has the yellow bags in spain) its a amercian style mustard really tasty and cheap too

French mustard? People don't have a notion of history, do they? Mustard is a German thing. Brought over from Africa by the Romans to the food loving Germans. Right enough the German region where mustard had it's European birth was forcefully handed over to France a while back but most people in the region are most familiar with senf in case moutard is not the thing to utter in public again soon enough...

A vote for English mustard? Disgraceful. Although it has to be said that Colmans was the first company in the world to industrialise mustard. Nuff said :rolleyes:

I'm confident that most posters here like their mustard. You might not have tasted (real) mustard before, so I challenge thee, go for the one and only: Löwensenf

True, but why am I the only person having voted for it?

ecksor

I personally never make a decision about what I prefer to put in my mouth without consulting a history book. I have a jar of a German mustard in my fridge actually which is almost empty as it happens. Makes eating those history books much more appetising. Why not just make a recommendation and leave the 'muso' rubbish out.
