OT: Lets talk a real condiment: Mustard

[huskymedic]

I use horse radish. Is that considered a form of mustard?? I don't know, but I use it with kraut, chili, relish and chopped onion.

Plochman's makes a spicy horseradish mustard w/ a decent kick. Goes good w/ brats.

Deli mustard and Spicy Brown are kissing cousins actually maybe kissing sisters. Some may say the same but I think there are a couple ever so slight differences (there are no problems subbing one for the other)

Its just a tad more kick than the good spicy browns, and the texture is a bit different.

And that leads us to this.

THIS is what I put on my hotdogs (and Pastrami and Corned Beef)

^^ This is what you are getting at the famous NY delis (or the exact appoximation)

Katz's uses their own mustard.

Love deli and spicy brown mustards. Actually like a little French’s yellow on the rare hot dog.

Grey poupon sucks.

 

[kobe]

Mustard is a proper condiment unlike Ketchup. And is acceptable for use in a myriad of ways.

Hate speech, IMO.

 

[Bagel&Cheese]

Charlie Gulden Spicy Mustard is a staple in my fridge but if I'm out, I can use any spicy mustard. Never cheap yellow mustard. Spicy Mustard is the Bomb!!

Which pretty much exactly like BaTampte


and by the way this aint fru fru gourmet or some type of hipster mustard. BaTampte is cheap, dirt cheap like 2 bucks for a 16 oz jar.

Inglehoffer. This brand get's it right. From its unique flavors to its appeasing price point and even its cap spout and squeeze packaging. Big Fan.

 

[August_West]

Hate speech, IMO.

We like you over here Kobe, you are welcome any time but you are a fan of a city who promotes skyline chili so I politely am asking you to leave a perfectly good food thread.

Nope. why would I use Mustard at Arbys? Im not so sure if Arbys even HAS mustard.

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

you have a mighty fine mustard game, sir.

Never understood the hate for ketchup. Mustard is obviously the king condiment but people have a weird obsession with belittling ketchup.

Grey poupon sucks.

Grey poupon is useful as a slather mixed with olive oil on grilled meats and fish. I also use it spread on the bread of a basic tuna sandwich, stole that from Panera.

That stuff will clear the sinuses out in a hurry! I love it too

McSorley's!

When my father, brother and I get together he has the approximation of the "cheese plate" (Saltines, cheese, raw onion and a mug full of mixed Colmans with a Popsicle stick in it) waiting out on the counter.

Love that stuff

We used to call that the "white plate". Haven't been there in years. Still have buy beers two at a time?

Right now I have Gulden's Spicy Brown, French's yellow, Grey Poupon and a store brand Dijon and am out of stone ground, but that's usually Pommery, sometimes Plochmans. Also a tin of Coleman's powder and a jar of some Chinese mustard powder, plus black and yellow mustard seeds for Indian cooking.

If I'm making a Chicago dog or one with kimchi, I'll use yellow. If naked or kraut or chopped onion, Gulden's. I do not add mustard to a chili dog.

Yup can only order in multiples of two.

Love that place.

No. I dont know if you can consider it mustard. Its a root not a seed. However it is a much better option than ketchup. I like Horseradish and find it to be a very underutilized condiment.

That's more my wife's thing - uses Inglehoff horseradish sauce on a lot of stuff. I've tried wasabi mustard on a dog, didn't take. Roast beef or beef tenderloin are about the only times I use horseradish.

As for ketchup, I'm now a mayo convert on burgers and even fries - TJ's mayo is the go-to. I really never cared for mayo before trying TJ's, which IMO, is pretty close to the taste of fresh made you get with frites at our local Belgian mussel places around here.

Seriously. Call it what it is: Greek bolognese sauce (e.g. the stuff on pastitsio).

J'adore your signature.

Well, there is really nothing for me to say to this. kobe out.

 

[LIuconn]

just like wine, a different answer to each question/food.

spicy, grainy brown a personal fav. great with pretzels and beer

 

[storrsroars]

I take offense to your signature.

Now you don't.

I have a Dutch buddy who keeps a full-sized jar of fritessauce in his refridgerator. I don't think I can ever go back now.

There are no fewer than 5 mustards in my refrigerator.

Yellow - hot dogs only.
Brown- universal/tailgate size
Dijon - Red lunch meats
Honey - Turkey or pretzels
Bookbinders "hot" Horseradish mustard- for real men.

Katz's also has the best hot dogs anywhere, most people never try them because they also have the best pastrami anywhere.

 

[superjohn]

Grey poupon is useful as a slather mixed with olive oil on grilled meats and fish. I also use it spread on the bread of a basic tuna sandwich, stole that from Panera.

Grey poupon like all Dijon's can be a great ingredient in cooking but left on it's own on a dog or pretty much anything it will overpower it.

 

[August_West]

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?

 

[August_West]

Not me. Pro move. Both. Order a hot dog and eat it at the counter while waiting for your Pastrami to be carved.


Also if anyone opts for table service at Katzs you deserve to be smacked on the side if the head with a 3 lb loaf of Ira Pechters seeded rye

 

[ctchamps]

Publix Deli with Horseradish for my hotdogs!

I keep Heinz Yellow in the refrigerator. Anyone who drops by unexpectedly and stays for dinner gets dogs and yellow mustard. I'm sending a message.

I was a poor eater as a kid. I used to add a little bit of dog to my mustard, ketchup, mayo and relish buns. The dogs rarely were eaten. And dogs were a treat compared to hamburgers. Yuck. Spicy chili - foget about it!

I can't believe that kid was me.

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.

 

[QDOG5]

I prefer yellow mustard on a brand new white shirt. You can't bleach that stuff out.
