delicious. SOLD!

I've started eating wedges of cheddar dipped in Colman's. It's rather nice, if you don't mind the distracting sound of your own arteries clanging shut.

I like Plochman's premium natural stone ground mustard - a German style. Heavenly with a smoked turkey and melted swiss sandwich on toasted whole wheat bread. Mmmmm. It's a US brand with lots of zing!

curious mustard myths & facts

English all the way baby!
Although Honey mustard is the ultimate mustard.

- thought this forum was a mirage!

I love Coleman's English Mustard and will go through around a jar a week. Will NOT eat my meat without it. I also like it on chedder cheese. Whats really nice is to get a packet of Tayto cheese and onion and break them up in the bag first. Get two slices of bread with small amount of butter and then spread a fair amount of Coleman's English Mustard and fill with the crisps and grated Kilmeaden Red Cheddar cheese. Delicious.

I've not really tried many other mustards besides the american style ones on burgers which aren't hot enough.

This is

but I remember my very first taste of mustard given to me by my grandad. Seriously he was eating a chop and I was around two yrs old and was crying for some so he gave me some but their was mustard on it and I loved it!!

Despite my scepticism I've purchased a bottle of French's, which DeVore and Asok love so much ... I suppose I should try them on sausages?

Sarky · 08-09-2004 8:50pm

Cheese eating surrendermustard.

Try some on a burger too. Nice.

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

Zonko · 08-09-2004 11:10pm

You failed to include Irish... Although, as much as I loath to admit it, I do like English mustard.

ecksor · 09-09-2004 3:30pm

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

BuffyBot · 09-09-2004 8:29pm

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.

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!

Pocari Sweat · 24-07-2006 1:01am

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:)

eric003 · 23-04-2007 3:03pm

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!!!

Mweelrea · 11-12-2007 12:08pm

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:

biko · 11-04-2008 1:18pm

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

staker · 03-06-2008 10:10pm

soda bread, butter, carved ham with english mustard all washed down with fresh coffee. hard to beat it!!:D

zero19 · 07-06-2008 9:33pm

I like french

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

theliam · 31-07-2008 9:55pm

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...;)

Cicero · 15-09-2008 10:13pm

Bought a paprika flavoured mustard in France this summer- brilliant stuff- quite hot on the mustard scale but full of flavour.

Arkana · 07-10-2008 5:43pm

Well - the 'purists' would now ask, whether a 'paprika flavoured' mustard is still a 'real' mustard (which should contain only mustard seed and no other spices)...
If I combine my favourite Löwensenf with Tabasco and Sambal Badjak, I probably gain a substance which is able to dissolve Titanium...:D

Well - now you believe... seeing is believing, isn't it?
The English did rarely something good for anybody - they are just like a bunch of cancer swellings on the surface of the world, some of them harmless, many of them malevolent (see Irish history).
They never where able to produce anything good (despite gothic novels!), neither mustard, nor roads, canals, not even quality architecture - compared to German standards.
And Dijon, real, not copied Dijon, is rank 2 on my personal mustard scale...:)
