What type of mustard do you like to use?

Yellow?

Dijon?

Some other or none?

Yellow English. Hot enough to blow your head off.

I hear that some Asian mustards are very hot.

I would not want to get my head blown off. 

I like yellow on a fried egg sandwich
Stone ground on sausage with sour kraut
Dijon on roast beef sandwich.
I also.use stone ground and fresh horseradish mixed and smothered over prime rib roast. Let it sit for a few days before cooking.

Ummm

Horseradish can hit the spot.

I like yellow English mustard on black pudding or a corned beef sandwich. Dont often use it on anything else

Dijon or wholegrain in sandwiches, English mustard I have used in cooking. I never thought of it with black pudding. Do you mean like in a bacon and black pudding butty or full english? It's usually so strong it stings my nose! Lovely taste though.

I use dijon in things like peppercorn sauce too.

US yellow mustard on hotdogs and burgers.

Dijon on every mustard is appropriate on.  Yellow mustard is good when Dijon is not available. 

Oh, except soft pretzels, then it's yellow mustard.

I have it with a full English breakfast. Sometimes have it with black pudding for a starter

I'm going to try that in a bacon and black pudding butty tomorrow morning Kim.

I just get it from dollar general

Whole kernel mustard. In the lounge. With the lead pipe.

Gulden's Spicy Brown is my favourite, hard to find overseas though. Colman's is indeed hot, about equal to the mustard in Chinese restaurants in the US.

Mustard seems like it is hard to go bad.  Maybe I just eat it before it goes bad.  The same for honey. 

There are many thoughts on if mustard, after opening, should be stored on the shelf or in the refrigerator.  The Internet has many comments on this. 


Mustard seeds are very small.

Nah, I just stick in the cupboard it's fine for ages.

You have mustard in chinese restaurants over there? Odd.

I do not use mustard at Chinese restaurants although I am sure it is in some of their recipes.
Sometime I use a chili oil / paprika sauce there, but only for potstickers.

I normally use honey mustard. I cook a lot of cottage rolls which uses honey mustard for a sauce. Otherwise I only use mustard for pretzels or sausages (not hotdogs). I sometimes like to use Keens extra hot yellow mustard.

Mostly I avoid mustard as I dislike the taste of vinegar.

I do like some honey mustards.  I use it with chicken tenders or chicken fingers.

Not for fried or baked whole chicken pieces. 

Never breathe in when eating the Chinese mustard.

I had some Dijon mustard on a hamburger at a lunch this week.

This is my go to.

I have tried the milder European stuff. I don't rate Dijon or whatever else. If it doesn't make your eyes water, it isn't mustard.

What Americans call mustard, the stuff you put on hotdogs and whatever, in the UK we call it burger sauce. It's extremely mild.

Have you tried mustard on fries or tots. If you don't like ketchup it's an alternative. Gives things a different flavor

I do like some honey mustard on things like chicken wings, but I also like BBQ sauce on them.
Not hot wing sauce though.  Mild and sweet.


Have any of you tried Ingelhoffer's or Sweet Baby Ray's honey mustard?

You're hardcore Lauren! That stuff is dynamite! Stings the nostrils and makes my eyes water! Word to the wise to our American chums, if you try it, use it very sparingly!

It's great to cook with though. Good in some curries actually.

No, I have not tried mustard on tater tots or fries.  Ketchup, yes.  Sweet BBQ sauce, yes.

I've done the bbq sauce, and it's good as well. Mustard adds a new flavor. Also, ranch dressing is good too.
My kids dip French fries in a chocolate shake. I haven't tried that yet

There was no Colman's mustard at the super.

All well.

I will try a speciality grocery too.

I can get it online and shipped.

We will just see how good it is.

Haha, yeah it's kind of like napalm in a jar. I find that mixing it with mayonnaise is quite nice for things like burgers or hot dogs. You really don't want to use a lot of it. One of my brothers dared one of his friends to eat a tablespoon of it once, when we were kids. I sincerely thought we might have to call an ambulance. He went a very odd shade and started twitching uncontrollably.

It is quite excellent on a hot roast beef sandwich, though.

I use horseradish sauce.  Plus a cocktail sauce that has strong horseradish taste in it.

You can't go wrong with horseradish, Chrissy. If anything, Horseradish is even more pungent.

I will try this week to look around to find some of this English mustard.

I am a cheap date and easy to please...

Horseradish is amazing. In mustard or in sour crehoram. Straight might kill you

Fries, dogs and burgers

Hot Dogs    Hamburgers    Various meat Sandwiches

also used when preparing potato salad and deviled eggs

I probably use more BBQ sauce than mustard.

But I like a good mustard too.

I only use wholegrain mustard to make a honey, mustard and cream sauce to go with pork. Very tasty

Hot English mustard with roasts dinners dab lightly.
Hot English mustard in meat sandwich's just a little.

Apparently both Keen's and Colman's are owned by big companies.

I got some Colman's mustard.  It comes in a very small jar, like the size of an aspirin bottle, 100 grams.  Tiny.  Expensive per ounce. 

I have not tasted it.  I will try it eventually on some food.

At least I was able to get it cheaper than the current online price, a small victory.

How new mustard would turn in to a thread this long

We are here because some of us must find it interesting enough to share their thoughts about mustard.

That is the only viable answer! 

I'm not complaining just didn't know it Qasim such an influential topic.

Common Yellow Mustard (or soy sauce) is good to put on a burn supposedly, let it sit for about 15 minutes. 

I wouldn't want Colman's on my skin for fifteen minutes! It would probably CAUSE a burn, not help with one. 🤣

It works wonders on a hot roast beef sandwich. Ham is also nice. I like it on pork pie, but I am guessing you don't get those over there.

The jars are small because a little really does go a long way. You only really want a tiny amount. I did see a video where an American guy did the hot dog squiggle Dev spoke of. He thought it would be akin to American mustard. He couldn't speak for 10 minutes and went through a whole box of Kleenex.

I will use just a dab when I do use it. Looks like it costs less than two pounds for 100 grams there in England.  More than four dollars here, some places over six dollars.

Yeah... it's way cheaper here. The export thing is meh. It's eminently reasonable in the UK.

Kind of like Hendo's. It's a kind of relish only sold in my hometown of Sheffield. It's like Worcestershire sauce but so much better. You can't get it outside of Sheffield, even in the UK. Outside of Amazon, where the price is exorbitant.

Americans love Peanut Butter and that can be difficult to find outside of North America....
Of course in Australia the UK you have your beloved Vegimite and Marmite. 
I have yet to acquire a taste for them.

Haha, yeah, Marmite is a very divisive thing. I fall firmly in the camp of "love". It's very savoury. If anyone in the UK ever ate something called "Twiglets"... or even pretzels, that's similar to what they're coated in.

I have never tried Vegemite, though.. Maybe @Sarah B could enlighten us?

I have never been massive on peanut butter, honestly. Mostly because the stuff I've tried has all tasted like it's mixed with sugar. Peanuts aren't supposed to be sweet. I like peanuts as a general rule... but the stuff in jars all tastes like it went to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. It's hard to find a good jar of unsweetened peanut butter in the UK.

I never knew about those things.  Unsure about anything specific to this region that is a specialty or something. 

I would rather use a strawberry preserve or strawberry spread (for less sugar than what must be used for a preserve.) 

A "yeast spread" does not sound at first blush to be appealing. 

Hi Everyone

Here is the low down on peanut butter from the UK and Australia

Ingredient	Meridian (UK)	Pip & Nut (UK)	Bega (AU)	Sanitarium (AU)
Peanuts (%)	100%	~99–100% (varies)	~85–90%	~90%
Added sugar	No	Usually no but some variants yes	Yes	Yes
Added oil	No	No (most variants)	Yes	Yes
Salt	Optional	Optional	Yes	Yes
Texture	Natural, oily separation	Natural or slightly processed	Very smooth	Smooth
Taste profile	Pure peanut, not sweet	Slight natural sweetness	Mildly sweet	Mildly sweet
Sweetness source	Natural peanut sugars	Natural or added in flavoured versions	Added sugar	Added sugar

Conclusion
I guess it depends on your own taste buds to what degree something is sweet.

@Sephirah @Northern Star Girl

By the sounds of that, I would probably like Vegemite. :)

Never heard of Promite, though. It sounds like a type of concrete.

Bovril is... haha, it's a very UK thing. It's like... a watered down gravy that people drink, like tea. I never got the taste. Oxo, on the other hand, I have ate those cubes when I was a kid. But then I was a very weird kid.

Love me a mug of bovril with black pepper on a cold day. Bovril is also canny spread on beef sandwiches and as a marmite substitute for toast and crumpets.

Isn't marmite a by product from brewing beer?

        Their television ads say that "Choosy Moms chose Jif"

I always keep the following in my home:  Extra Crunchy  and  Creamy JIF, and Ritz Crackers.

      (https://i.ibb.co/219HhYxK/CIMG0036.jpg) (https://ibb.co/5g0w4xmc)

It's weird to UK folks because Jif used to be a brand of cleaning product, until they changed their name to Cif. In other countries it's still sold as Jif.

Extra crunchy Jif, to UK folks, is a drain unblocker.

Pork roaster in citrus juice. Shredded and  very very good

Pork Roaster? Is that like pork shoulder or leg or something?

Sorry my fat fingers. A pork roast.

It looks like the company that owns Keen's is buying the food business from the company that owns Colman's.

She news about the McCormick and Unilever companies.  Unilever also owns Marmite and Horlick's.

I tried the Colman's brand mustard on a ham and cheese sandwich I brought from home for lunch.
I did not liberally spread it from the jar.  I only put on a little because of the warning that this mustard would be hot.  I tasted a dab by itself and noticed that it is spicy, in a way like horseradish.

My conclusion from this sandwich is that I did not put on enough mustard to appreciate the enhancement that mustard should provide to a ham and cheese sandwich.  So not only was this Colman's mustard not particularly spicy hot, there was not enough mustard on the sandwich to appreciate mustard being on the sandwich.

On my next sandwich, I will double the amount of Colman's mustard used.  For now, French's yellow mustard, used the way I usually use it, would have been a far better choice.

However, I am fair and will give this at least one more try on a ham and cheese sandwich, and perhaps something else.  At worst, I will be using this mustard up to not waste it.

I'd try the Coleman's when making BBQ sauce. It would probably give it a nice zing.

Ha I watched that video. I like his content, He's a funny guy. But my god the amount he plastered on his sarnie! Brave doesn't begin to describe it!

If you like mustard, check out the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, WI: https://mustardmuseum.com/

They have hundreds of varieties available.

I do not like Branston Pickle, but the guy made a perfect storm of annihilation, haha. To be fair, though, that's kind of what I do. I like the occasional cheeseburger smothered with mustard. I think because I hate ketchup. Never, ever use it. A good Aberdeen Angus or wagyu quarter pounder with some pink Cheshire cheese, smothered with Colmans mustard is... well... if you ever want the way to my heart... that's probably it.

Which is kind of weird because I am not someone who likes spicy food as a rule. I throw in the towel at Jalapenos. But  I can sink mustard with reckless abandon.

I have never tried a burger that way before. Think I'll pick up some angus burgers next time I'm out! Actually I've never had cheshire cheese before either. Could be a taste odyssey coming up.

Thing with mustard though is it's a totally different type of spice to chilli's. I wonder if you would like Wasabi then?

I do yes. I like sushi with lashings of wasabi on the side. You're right, it is a different kind of thing and I can't put my finger on exactly why. I think maybe because the impact is short lived where capsaicin kind of punishes you for ages. It blows your head off for a minute then it's gone. Eat something with capsaicin in it and you could have panting contests with local dogs for a good few hours, haha.

I do like a bit of chilli heat but I'm no masochist. I'm not a vindaloo girl. I love Japanese food too. Particuarly Tepanyaki and Yakitori but sushi is nice too. Don't get to have it much though. I do like wasabi in moderation.

I have had a hamburger with Colman's mustard but the mustard did not taste hot.

My next attempt with this mustard is to use more of it, then finally using as much as I would use plain common yellow mustard.

So far, it is just a very expensive but also a decent tasting mustard.

Im pretty sure I've had coleman's. I didn't find it overly hot, but I put Tapatio on chicken finger and eggs

But chickens don't have fingers?

Nor do they have nuggets, yet people eat them. There was a commercial when I was a younger person. That had these scientists types looking for the nuggets and no one could find them. And that's why you should eat this restaurants chicken strips.

You could argue cockerels have nuggets!

Very small nuggets. That's a lot for a meal.

My parents and brother eat calf fries. Not a meal I'm willing to try. Im an adventurous eater but....... no thank you

I think I can imagine and if I'm right that would be a hard pass from me too!

The British traditionally eat a fair amount of offal (liver and bacon, steak and kidney pudding, pork ->-bleeped-<-gots, tripe etc) but I have never been a fan. I wish I was as it's cheap eating over here!

I do love black pudding though and that is something that you guys don't quite get. Very versatile and very tasty.

They have feet.  No fingers.   
Saw a package of the feet at an international grocery.  A big pile of orange feet.

Huh you can't use the f word? They are a type of meat product over here, nothing untoward.

Calf fries are the difference between a bull and a steer.
Those parts were saved cooked and eaten.

As I suspected then. I'll give that a miss thanks

Me too. I wsnt be trying them

I made a hamburger and put my usual amount of mustard on it.  I used the Colman's mustard.

The sandwich was good, the mustard was good, but it was not a hot mustard.  A hint of horseradish perhaps, but not mouth burning.

Sarah, you are actually the other half of my soul,

Chrissy, I think you probably passed into the annals of British food.

Welcome sister <3

Your next trial is the Yorkshire Pudding

I was very surprised that my teaspoons were too large to fit into a Colman's mustard jar (100 gram size).  However I would most times use a knife I suppose for mustard jars.

I like whole grain and English mustard, not that I use it much.

With you there. I think that's even a north/south gap in the UK, though. Show someone from London black pudding... or worse, tell them its origins, and they will look at you like you just took a butcher's knife to their firstborn... before offering you some eels, and mashed potato, in something that looks like it is a special effect in an adult movie.
