OT: Lets talk a real condiment: Mustard

OK we got through the hot dog portion with not much insanity.

Lets shift to honey mustards. Honey mustards are polarizing. I like good honey mustard as an all purpose dipping sauce (pretzels, chicken tenders what not) to me it has a much better usefulness than Ranch dressing. Which seems to attract the class of people Ketchup does.

But the thing with Honey Mustards is that they are all over the friggin map. Some have no sweetness, some are cloying to the point of vomit.


What are your favorite honey mustards?

I went to HHI for the first time in 1991. Walking along the shops at Forest Beach my wife and I came upon Wild Wings Restaurant. They made a lot of different sauces for those wings. Our favorite by far were the honey mustard wings.

I like honey mustard, always works well with chicken. I once basically broke up with a girl in a ranch vs. blue cheese for wings debate years ago. Ranch is for hilljacks, some of those freaks put it on pizza.

Guarantee Rich loves ranch.

You're all gonna clobber me for this, but homemade ranch can be decent at times. I'm talking chives fresh out of the garden here.

Ranch has its place. Its a decent raw vegetable dip. A passable if pedestrian chip dip. It is the co-opting of it as the nations 2nd ketchup that gets my scorn.

I actually like Emeril's but the answer is whatever they serve at Brueggers' Bagels. As a rule it should be a bit darker in color than you might think.

Guessing that's Rich in the corner.

Sure, a freshly prepared ranch is probably pretty good but after eating the prepackaged cr@p through college and after, the stuff started to taste like vomit.

They have honey mustard. Not sure about regular yellow mustard

I have in my fridge colmans, guldens spicy brown, maille mustard w/ Chablis white wine and black truffle (absolutely delicious but very strong/over powering if use too much), maille original Dijon w/ white wine, and mister mustard original hot

WHERE IS THIS MYSTICAL UNICORN? I must have this!

Gulden’s Spicy Brown is #1 for almost anything.

Beer $ Brat as a decent deli style.

Honey mustard only as an ingredient in a marinade I make for salmon.

Yellow mustard if stranded on a desert island with only yellow mustard to eat.

I’ll defend ketchup on burgers and fries to the death. But when a friend of mine put ketchup on a hot dog, and another, Aunt Jemina forgive him, on pancakes, I thought I was in the middle of a terrible nightmare.
 
Three simple rules:
1. Always use blackies mustard on Burgers, dogs and sandwiches ( if I have it ) else Guldens Spicy Brown
2. Kosciusko on Kielbasa, always
3. Never yellow

That is pretty much it.

The drop off after Guldens is severe. The worst thing the Fenway Group ever did was not letting Theo go - it was replacing Gulden's Spicy Brown with Gold's Spicy Brown.

Ranch is unquestionably the most universal condiment there is. The number of items you can effectively use it on dwarfs ketchup and mustard combined.

Ranch dressing sucks. A salad without Italian dressing isn't worth eating, although I've had some decent vinegarettes.

As a condiment? It’s untouchable.
 
French's yellow mustard for all my mustard uses.

Occasionally if I'm feeling like a pretencious I'll go with Gulden's brown mustard.
 
Horseradish flys under the radar, nice with kielbasa. Mustard "ol standby " and always works for me. Fridge only has brown spicy so now I have to go spend money on all these different types. Thanks August

Horseradish is awesome but on it's own it can be overpowering on many things, especially if you like to get your slather on. On a rare roast beef sandwich it's nirvana. Always has to be pure horseradish, none of that horseradish sauce stuff.
 
Amana German style and hot mustards. Dijon as an emulsifier in the salad dressings. Try a dollop of horseradish in your coleslaw.
 
Ranch is far more intolerable than ketchup.

Ketchup has no place on tubular meats.

Mustard is by far the best and most versatile condiment.

I love mustard and have long sung it's praises amongst my friends, right @Robertelamin?

Hot dog usage: Gulden's Spicy Brown with relish/raw onions.

French's yellow with beanless chili/meat sauce and raw onions.

Pro tip: French's yellow as a dipping condiment with french fries. Better than you would think.

Don't even consider French's yellow actual mustard. You have grounds for a law suit against your parents.
