on hot dogs it has to be yellow mustard but the spicier stuff is pretty good on sandwiches although I prefer my sandwiches with no condiments.

Only yellow mustard for me.

Hot english on rare roast beef. German mustard on hot dogs. Black mustard seeds in Indian curries. Dijon or wholegrain french in or on everything else.

Last week's school newsday was kids' joke: They are six years old. The kids not the jokes.

Q: What colour is a burp?

A: Burple!!

Enough to give anyone an upset tum, but it went down a treat, apparently.

Two to three nice full table spoons of real mayo, squirt some dijon and spicy brown in the mix, add a little salt and some red pepper, mix, serve at room temp.

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:54 pm

What's that, KB? It sounds like a delicious dipping sauce??? My mum used to concoct a devil sauce using tomato ketchup and cream and worcester sauce. When you got the consistency right, it was perfect with seafood. I have a feeling when she served it with kidneys though, she added some mustard.

KB. · Post by **KB.** » Thu Dec 06, 2007 11:56 pm

I use it when I cook steak sandwiches mainly, but I also use it for dipping sauce for everything from sausage to fries. It is great. I put more spicy brown than dijon in it because I like the heat.

when you make the steakwich in america do you just fry off your onion or do you caramelise them? OOps slightly off topic but I was going to add

do you then top with your fav mustard mix?

i think the texture is pretty smooth for me. its a got a nice finish to it as well. so i think its a pretty good mix of taste and texture. what kind of brand of Grey Poupon Mustard do you have/tried lemon???

for me I enjoy the original but I just recently got the 3 new flavors of Grey Poupon Mustard theres:

Harvest Coarse Ground

Hearty Spicy Brown

and..

Savory Honey

for those that are into more of the spicier mustards i really recommend Hearty Spicy Brown (finely diced yellow onions) but if you're more into heartier mustards check out Harvest Coarse cause its got whole mustard seeds in it. and yeah theres more info on http://www.greypoupon.com for more info

It depends on the onions. I like them just sauteed a bit, but some folks prefer them caramelized. I just fix them for the majority or fix them both ways. The mustard-mayo mix goes on the bread.

I just checked to see whether it was known in the US or not. I found it - http://www.colmansmustard.com/colmans_mustard_usa.html

The stuff in the tin, made up fresh at room temperature 15 minutes before it's used so the enzymes have a chance to do their work. That's mustard, the rest are just flavouring.

I make home made mustard when it is in season, the mustard that is.

I can get the Colmans powdered mustard here in Australia. Good in that form for adding to cheese sauces too.

From the seeds? I had no idea they had a season.

This is a quote from Platina, an Italian Renaissance writer now known in the food world for his cookbook "Concerning Wholesome Pleasure and Well-Being":[Mustard] is considered very useful to the stomach, drives out ills in the lungs, lightens a chronic cough, makes spitting easy, is given food to those who are gasping, purges senses and head from sneezes, softens the bowels, stimulates menstruation and urine, and cuts phlegm. When smeared on an ailment of the body, it shows the force of its burning.

It's amazing how much variation in flavour there can be from one tin depending on how you use the contents. Cooked like that it's not hot at all. Stirred in a bit of water for five minutes it's explosive.

We always grew mustard greens with the rest of the garden and my grandmother always made mustard with the seeds.
