Which Mustard?

Well, that was underwhelming. Bland and inoffensive. The Mustard that your kid sister would use.

Yeah, they should call it "Mustard style condiment" of something...its not as good as the real thing.

ecksor · 09-09-2004 9:22pm

I'll say one thing for it though, I had a preconception that it would be full of gums and colourings, but not according to the ingredients on the bottle.

My variation on this is cheese singles (the only time I eat them) and hellmans mayo instead of butter. Very tasty.

Must try that - also another variation on this is to toast the sandwich - sounds weird but its delicious with the cheese melting into the crisps but you will need to add more mustard after its cooked - well I do anyway!

I told you! It's the sort of mustard that lets any old horde invade. Whether it's actually french or not is beside the point!

Colemans English for the win.

Lostnbroken · 10-09-2006 2:54pm

I am not a big fan of mustard but i have to go for English.

The Hill Billy · 27-09-2006 3:57pm

Colman's is yer only man.
I do also like some of the German senfs.
The French stuff is a bit too mild for me though.

While not a traditional mustard product, have any of you mustard-heads tried Crazy Jerry's Mustard Gas? Tis quite spectacular!

mizwizzy · 27-09-2006 5:38pm

colmans mustard most definitely!

Steve_o · 30-11-2006 8:12pm

Defintely English....all others dont come close....well maybe French is close but still English is far nicer!!!!

admiralofthefleet · 10-03-2007 10:46pm

no irish mustard in the poll! lakeshore is lovely mustard, especially the wholegrain

Naikon · 10-03-2007 10:48pm

Colmans:)

My favourite mustard is definately welsh mustard, it's red in colour and is beautiful, if you like english mustard you will love welsh mustard, I found the website of 'The Welsh Mustard Company' at www.welshmustard.com

Jimoslimos · 05-07-2007 12:25pm

French Dijon mustard for me or perhaps wholegrain sometimes.

Never understand this preference for english mustard cos its "stronger". I mean that's like saying you prefer methylated spirits over a nice beer because its got a higher alcohol content:rolleyes:

semibluff · 10-11-2007 11:58am

when i think of the different mustards i immediately relate them to the following:

England - colmans

French - Dijon (maille to be percise)

American - something like Plochmans

German - i love a bavarian mustard, called lowensenf

i think the sweet bavarian mustard is sublime with a hangsandwich, and is def my favourite over the strong Dijon.

here's a recipe for honey mustard the i just LOVE - orgasmic stuff

1/2 cup Kraft mayonnaise (don't use Dukes or Miracle Whip!)
1/4 cup mustard (of your choice- hint hint bavarian)
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (leave out if using for dip)
1 dash salt
cayenne pepper

will give you one cup full, and should be just five minutes to prepare! now dip your chips into that!!!

This is odd. Never knew mustard had such a popular fan base!

claiva · 11-12-2007 12:19pm

This is what boards is all about imo.
Obscure little addictions.
Absolutely love Colmans English Mustard myself.
Best cure for a hangover ever = Toasted Ham and Cheese Sandwiches with blanket of Mustard inside.
Soon makes you forget how rough you feel when you are gasping for air.....mmm mmm.
Don't care much for Guiness mustard. Dijon is nice though in some circumstances.:eek:

Slotts Stark Senap
Sweet and strong mustard. The Original Slotts recipe, spiced up to a stronger version.

staker · 03-06-2008 10:10pm

zero19 · 07-06-2008 9:33pm

Kidd-o · 02-07-2008 1:42am

Dijon is friggen beautiful i just love that, but Strong Irish is also BEAUTIFUL... i think if god was a mustard he would be irish

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?

Sorry, I joined this discussion quite late - so it doesn't make quite sense to participate at the poll this time.
But you are right, unkel, about history and facts, and I agree totally with your 'one and only' - but taste is ALWAYS debatable - so we all should be tolerant.
What I have to add here, is that there is much nonsense told and advertised about 'Löwensenf' - it is definitively NOT a 'Bavarian' mustard - Löwensenf always was and still is produced in Düsseldorf, which is a sity in the Federal State of 'Nordrhein-Westfalen' (people there would kill you if you call them Bavarian:D) and - at least the 'Classic' (export range) or 'Extra' (local range) is EVERTHING ELSE but SWEET! It contains only (best quality) spicy mustard seeds, vinegar (clear, triple distilled wine vinegar), salt and water - NO sugar and NO sweeteners. As far as I know, this mustard is the most spicy in the world. In the recent years, the factory has brought two additional sorts onto the market, 'mild' and 'sweet' - I don't like neither of them - still stick to the classic/extra mustard.
Löwensenf beats in spicyness even the English Colmans (which is extremely sweet, what I don't like), the French Dijon or the German 'Bauzener Senf'. That, in fact, reduces the amount of this mustard you need. For example: On a good German 'Bratwurst' (grill sausage) of roughly 100g I need, to have it tasty, the same weight of ordinary mustard - ca. 100g. With Löwensenf Classic/Extra I only need 10% of that to achieve the same spicy result. In the end - even if Löwensenf is more expensive - it pays off in your pocket.;)

Arkana · 03-09-2008 1:36pm

Well... embarassing: Should say 'city', not 'sity'...:(

Arkana · 03-09-2008 1:42pm

Ah well... the third one in this - a recommendation:
You should buy the 'Löwensenf' in tubes, not in glasses. Reason: Oxygen reduces the spicyness of the mustard. It is unavoidable with a glas or tin - but with tubes you squeeze out exactly the amount you need, and once the lid is screwed on again, there is no oxygen touching this precious mustard...;)
