What is your favorite type of mustard? / LJWorld.com

T_O_B, This question just doesn't cut the mustard?

Chicago_JHawk 6 years, 2 months ago

I prefer Colonel Mustard.

jonas 6 years, 2 months ago

The invisible, tasteless type.

I have heard, though, that mustard has quite a kick in its gaseous form.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 6 years, 2 months ago

I would prefer to listen to "Mean Mr. Mustard"

classclown 6 years, 2 months ago

I just like regular yellow mustard.

Kuku_Kansas 6 years, 2 months ago

A good Chicago-style hot dog should have Plochman's ugly yellow mustard.

It goes great with the Chicago-style bright, neon green relish too!

this is the ots question today, eh? wowzer.

i like spicey mustard. ok, who wants to argue?? ;)

"The Authentic Stadium Mustard", hands down. It is the mustard that has been sold in Cleveland stadiums for many, many years.

brookcreeker 6 years, 2 months ago

This might have been interesting if the question had been asked at Free State Brewery, where it's Mustard March. Go get yourself some good mustard.

Since it was asked at Checkers, I would imagine the LJW is running out of things to ask.

number3of5 6 years, 2 months ago

Homemade mustard made from stale beer and dry mustard is my all time favorite.

conservativepunker 6 years, 2 months ago

Kraft Yellow Mustard. Hard to find in grocery stores around here.

Kam_Fong_as_Chin_Ho 6 years, 2 months ago

Stadium Mustard from Cleveland is the greatest mustard on the face of the earth. I wish I could buy it locally. Thank goodness for the internet.

"Chipolte Horseradish."

Forgive me for being so anal, but that ain't mustard.

There's an Italian deli in Riverside, MO that is run by these OLD women. The SLOWEST service ANYWHERE, and they get your order wrong about half the time... but they make their own mustard. Pretty good.

Basic French's yellow mustard. Mmm, that makes me want a brat really bad, even though it's only 8:30 in the morning. I like a little dijon on certain things and in a potato salad recipe I have. This is a weird ?, btw. Mustard, really?

tim_hardaway 6 years, 2 months ago

i love mustard on my steaks just makes them go down real well....yummmy!!!!

Sigmund 6 years, 2 months ago

I like the free-range, fair-trade mustard that are hormone and antibiotic free. If you have ever tasted it you can immediately tell the difference! Mustard is not meant to be raised on big corporate farms before they are slaughtered exploited by low paid corporate slaves. Nope. In fact I ate nothing but all organic, non-genetically modified mustard for thirty days and lost 35 pounds!

True story.

snap_pop_no_crackle 6 years, 2 months ago

I don't have any Grey Poupon, sorry.

sourpuss 6 years, 2 months ago

I guess I've never thought about it. I don't think I'll start now.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 6 years, 2 months ago

Ketchup. - bea

First. Are you sure it is not Catsup? True ketchup is fish brine based. True catsup is tomato based.

Second. Catch up. 1972 is long gone. Expand your musical horizons. Don't limit yourself. George McGovern was not all that special...

Ceallach 6 years, 2 months ago

Honey or honey dijon mustard, helps keep me so darned sweet!

trinity 6 years, 2 months ago

what exactly is the dijon thing, anyway??? i've always been curious. really!

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 6 years, 2 months ago

trin, Not sure but I think it is when you use mustard while listening to Celine.

Agnostick 6 years, 2 months ago

Something with insane amounts of horseradish... the kind that clears your sinuses the moment it touches your tongue. ;)

ms_canada 6 years, 2 months ago

Don't really eat much mustard but when I have ham I like the dijon kind, Grey Poupon or I also like the German grainy kind of mustard. Where the hang did this question come from? Oh and there is a horseradish kind of mustard, to be sure.

HL, is that made from real Englishmen?

ms_canada 6 years, 2 months ago

TOB - thanks - now I am really going to make the effort to eat more mustard this month. And I will try some new varieties also. And you know, I really will be doing the farmers in Alberta a huge favour as huge fields of mustard are readily seen on the drive south through central Alberta. They are a very pretty sight. A cash crop in my province.

I hear that Obama and Clinton are holding a rally to honor the sacrifices that were made in the struggle for mustard rights...

I finally mustard the courage to respond to this question.

Wasabi lime mustard. Damn, that's some good mustizzle.

Gotta grab my lead pipe and run--I have a rendezvous with Colonel Mustard in the Study at 11:00.

Just normal yellow table Mustard I buy in France is so much stronger than US. It is fantastic. Makes me wonder how our US palates ever became satisfied with bland "French's." . Trinity: Lots of mustard grown around Dijon area of France. In US we use "Dijon" as an adjective for spicy mustard styles. Not sure it has the same connotation in France.

beatrice 6 years, 2 months ago

RI, first off -- the question on the day after the Vice President's right-hand man is convicted is about condiments. What can I say if my answer tended more toward the blood red type, whatever its base ingredient.

As far as musical junkies, Bird died in 1955 and Joplin in 1970, not '72. There have been a string of strung-out musicians and bands since, but few top those early examples for a great waste of talent. And that Cowboy Junkies stuff you posted sounded like something you would hear as the backdrop to an episode of the Gilmore Girls. Yawn city. Try a little Social Distortion to wake yourself up.

If I eat it with ketchup and relish, it's mustard!!!

The honey mustard that molly mcgee's has, wherever it comes from.

sunflower_sue 6 years, 2 months ago

Bea, that made me snort (not mustard)!

Hot dog...any yellow mustard will do Egg roll...hot Chinese-type mustard Deli sandwich...any type of dijon/horseradish/spicy mustard wraps...honey mustard

I'm not brand loyal when it comes to mustard, and I never met a mustard I didn't like.

Bone777 6 years, 2 months ago

Bea - that was funny. I didn't snort, but I did chortle.

snap_pop_no_crackle 6 years, 2 months ago

bea gets today's golden fruitcake, with appropriate condiments, of course.

RETICENT_IRREVERENT 6 years, 2 months ago

bea, I would in no shape, form, or fashion equate any Cowboy Junkies tracks with whoever wrote "Thank You for Being a Friend"

Just asking for clarification... Do you identify with the character Bea Arthur played in Gilmore Girls?

I would be more inclined to picture you as Maude.

I just saw Miss Scarlett an hour ago, frantically searching for her electric candlestick in the Billiard Room. She was inconsolable. Coincidence?

I've never seen anyone snort mustard, but I have seen a cop blow beer out his nose.

acg 6 years, 2 months ago

Isn't wasabi a type of mustard? That dude on Jackass 1 snorted that stuff. I think it hurt him, at least that was the impression I got from the extreme vomiting that took place after he did it.

Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard - I use to work in product development for the company that makes it. Nothing like it right off the line, mustard looses its kick over time. Putting it in the fridge helps but then you get that separation thing going on. (syneresis)

sunflower_sue 6 years, 2 months ago

wasabi is made from a root (like horseradish) mustard...seeds

That will be all for today's culinary arts 101 class. Tomorrow we will be discussing the difference between capons and capers. Your essays on "Why bother boiling beer brats in beer" is due on Friday.

Harry_Manback 6 years, 2 months ago

I like spicy the best on sandwiches, regular on hamburgers and honey mustard on chicken fingers! Yum!

Pywacket 6 years, 2 months ago

Capons are castrated roosters... I've known this since at least 11th grade, when we had an amiable and good-natured chemistry teacher named "Mr. Capen." A classroom wag, ignoring the difference in spelling, brought this to the attention of the entire class early in the schoolyear.

Mr. Capen endured the ribbing about his name with good grace. We all loved him--he was a favorite teacher, so the teasing was "with" him instead of "against" him... In the middle of a quiet lull, you'd hear soft clucking from one side or the other of the room..that kind of thing.

I just looked up "capon" on Wikipedia to see how they define it. According to them, "In this procedure the testes of the cock are completely removed;..."

I can't say I've ever before read a phrase beginning, "the testes of the cock..." Not sure there's any more to say about that!
