Sun Feb 04 19:35:23 -0800 2007 43660 billjriv 1 2259872 Amora from France. There is a version you can get in The US but it is not the same.Whenever somebody I know is travelling there I make them bring me some back. It is a very cheap brand but it is my favorite. Sun Feb 04 20:14:35 -0800 2007 2259790 13550 King of Northern Blvd 2 2268395 you should try maille it s also french Wed Feb 07 09:37:44 -0800 2007 2259872 61922 letoukouleur 3 2286529 I just tried Maille. I even bought the Extra Hot version. The taste was fine but I did not get the nose burn that you get with Amora. I remember once in a restaurant here in NY they had a mustard that was very close. Upon asking what it was the waiter said Maille but what I recently purchased was not similar. I'll try a few other Maille options to find it.. Mon Feb 12 18:32:36 -0800 2007 2268395 13550 King of Northern Blvd 4 2449380 King, have you tried Maille's Honey Dijon? It is not overly sweet, but imo, it packs a HUGE PUNCH!!!! i love it, but in very small doses with a pork chop. Wed Apr 04 08:47:49 -0700 2007 2286529 51490 icey 5 2449531 I haven't tried it but I usually don't like Honey mustard because of the sweetness. I may try it if it isn't overly sweet but I really don't need another jar of Mustard in the fridge..haha Wed Apr 04 09:21:00 -0700 2007 2449380 13550 King of Northern Blvd 6 4644636 I like Maille but it is not the same product that you can get in a Paris Maille boutique. The stuff we get here is made in Canada. In america test kitchen they favored Grey Poupon, better than Roland Extra Strong Dijon. Fri May 01 01:37:15 -0700 2009 2449531 28638 phantomdoc 2 2347525 Is it the one that comes in a red and blue bottle? if so is IS the best! My Father used to bring it back in cases from France and I got hooked, and was so excited when I found it at Monseuir Marcels in the Farmers Market in LA. But alas, everytime I've gone back since that one time, they dont have it. Father also recently gave me some expensive one from france, no idea the name though. Similar to the $7 Amora... On the non-dijon front, I love Stonewall Kitchen's Maple Maine Champagne Mustard. Fri Mar 02 18:39:15 -0800 2007 2259872 10687 Quesera 2 2967851 Laurent du Clos Mustard ! Sun Sep 23 10:12:49 -0700 2007 2259872 124137 JayVaBeach 1 2260116 I like Old Cape Cod cranberry mustard. I put it on meat sandwiches or lettuce rollups. Sun Feb 04 23:13:54 -0800 2007 2259790 10426 shaebones 2 2277140 Old Cape Cod, honey is good also, On roast beef, or roast pork sandwiches. Fri Feb 09 13:59:07 -0800 2007 2260116 40385 othervoice 1 2260120 The French Dijon that Trader Joes sells. Sun Feb 04 23:19:12 -0800 2007 2259790 12139 paulj 2 2262479 Is that the grainy crunchy one? Looks just like one I used to get at Trader Joes's in the early 80's- have not seen it there recently. Mon Feb 05 15:08:56 -0800 2007 2260120 17682 torty 3 2262820 I have in mind a smooth Dijon style, with quite a bit of bite, especially in a freshly opened jar. paulj Mon Feb 05 16:35:57 -0800 2007 2262479 12139 paulj 4 2759311 Have you tried Clovis Dijon mustard? It meets your specs: Smooth. Check. Quite a bit of bite. Check. The other great thing about Clovis is that all the jars are pull dated. I won't buy the mustard unless there is a lot of shelf life remaining based on the date. The mustard is much stronger -- and much better -- when young. I buy the Clovis brand at my local Balducci's store, but I found it on the Mustard Museum web site. I definitely second their description: "A good nose tickler." Tue Jul 17 18:13:36 -0700 2007 2262820 61567 Indy 67 1 2260133 Without a doubt it's Moutarde de Meaux. So good I sometimes have a spoonful straight. Sun Feb 04 23:30:08 -0800 2007 2259790 11561 Cpt Wafer 2 2261942 Looks incredible. Where can I find it? Will they carry it at a local gourmet store? Or do I have to order it on line? Mon Feb 05 13:17:05 -0800 2007 2260133 10793 Morton the Mousse 3 2263184 It is indeed incredible. I imagine your local gourmet store is a little different from mine seeing as you are in SF Bay area and I am in central SC. I'd wager someone in SF sells it. However it's available at several places online. Here's one: http://www.thefrenchybee.com/pommery-moutarde-de-meaux-in-crock-jar-17-oz-p-100.html?manufacturers_id=50 Mon Feb 05 18:23:23 -0800 2007 2261942 11561 Cpt Wafer 3 2263279 Oakville Grocery carries it.

Sun Aug 10 12:16:15 -0700 2008 2260133 34684 the.crump 1 2260141 I'm partial to a horseradish-infused mustard called River Rat "Hot as Hell" Mustard from Gold Cup Farms in Clayton, New York. I eat it with hot dogs, of course, or with Croghan Bologna. Sun Feb 04 23:38:21 -0800 2007 2259790 10255 Gary Soup 1 2260235 there's a small family farm in saugerties ny called grey mouse that makes its own horseradish mustard. it is superb. Mon Feb 05 03:29:15 -0800 2007 2259790 12568 ericalloyd 2 2268586 Thank you SO much for this lead - Saugerties was once a special place for us, so I went to check out Grey Mouse and ended up ordering a bunch of mustards and sauces and preseres, and I am prepared to be thrilled with them, so thanks very, very much! The place looks just wonderful!! Wed Feb 07 10:16:37 -0800 2007 2260235 54991 Atlantis 1 2260237 My home mixed mustard made with mustard flour, vinegar, and horseradish. Mon Feb 05 03:34:04 -0800 2007 2259790 11977 ChiliDude 1 2260245 Blanche de Chambly mustard (made with Blanche de Chambly beer). Product of Quebec. Mon Feb 05 04:01:30 -0800 2007 2259790 20128 morebubbles 1 2260256 I like Vermont Volcano mustard. It has horseradish and maple syrup in it. Mon Feb 05 04:30:16 -0800 2007 2259790 57867 Gin and It 2 2617646 That sounds tremendous.. where can I find it? Thu May 31 11:56:42 -0700 2007 2260256 101707 yankeefan 3 2618907 Singleton's store in Proctorsville VT if you're up for a road trip. Or order it online: http://www.cavendishfruitcake.com/mustard.html Thu May 31 17:37:40 -0700 2007 2617646 57867 Gin and It 1 2260270 My favorite is A.Bauers prepared mustard, it's a NY deli style product. Handmade in small batches in Ridgewood, I don't know how available it is outside NYC. Really sharp and a little runny, it's the only one I use right now. Label says since 1888, so I guess they know what they're doing! Mon Feb 05 04:51:40 -0800 2007 2259790 11097 coll 2 2260432 I just realized they have a website, and you can order online. http://www.abauersmustard.com/ Mon Feb 05 07:05:40 -0800 2007 2260270 11097 coll 3 2278785 Do you buy it in NYC or in Ridgewood? If NYC, where is it sold? Sat Feb 10 06:50:53 -0800 2007 2260432 29608 Neuromancer 4 2279468 I know it's available in small jars at delis in Queens, I can ask my friend where he saw it. The link above allows you to mail order too, and has an email and phone # so they can probably tell you more. I get it from a restaurant wholesaler, by the gallon, but not everyone carries it. Sat Feb 10 12:00:40 -0800 2007 2278785 11097 coll 5 4644611 Guess I'll update, I recently tried Boars Head mustard (with horseradish and white wine, not sure if there are other kinds) and fell in love with it. They were giving out free jars when you bought a lb of certain cold cuts. Well it's $2.99 for one of those tiny jars, but I talked to the deli manager and she sold me a gallon she had in the back for $10. I still like Bauers but this is so much richer in taste. Fri May 01 00:40:02 -0700 2009 2279468 11097 coll 1 2260317 Inglehoffer's hot & sweet goes great with cold cuts, chicken sausages, cold sliced turkey. Mon Feb 05 05:42:09 -0800 2007 2259790 12622 Striver 2 2261359 I grew up eating Inglehoffer & Beaverton Hot Dijon Wine Mustard cold cuts and sausages of all sorts. The sharp bite of the wine and the heat of the mustard are a good contrast to the smoky flavor of those meats. Bertmans(Cleveland) stadium mustard is a natural for grilled hot dogs/brat's in the summer. Mon Feb 05 11:06:47 -0800 2007 2260317 22220 Kelli2006 1 2260396 I am a fan of Boetje's (pronounced boat-chee's) mustard. If you like stone ground, grainy, brown mustard, this is just about perfect. I have used it botha as a condiment and as an ingredient, always with excellent results. For more information on all things mustard, check this out: http://www.mustardweb.com/ Mon Feb 05 06:41:27 -0800 2007 2259790 10258 Fydeaux 1 2260437 The walnut mustard that Zingermans sells. It is fantastic on a ham sandwich. Mon Feb 05 07:08:15 -0800 2007 2259790 29317 MacArthur Mike 1 2261246 I LOVE the Trader Joe's "Hot & Sweet" mustard. Mon Feb 05 10:46:35 -0800 2007 2259790 10205 valerie 2 2612063 this is definitely the best sweet type mustard I've tried. Tue May 29 19:36:11 -0700 2007 2261246 43361 sarahsarah 1 2261650 The best, at least in my experience, was Pommery, a grainy mustard from Dijon, France. I used to use in on virtually everything, but unfortunately, I have not seen it on sale anywhere for quite a few years. Does anyone know where to buy Pommery? Mon Feb 05 12:00:20 -0800 2007 2259790 25376 Ted in Central NJ 2 2263060 In my area, (SF Bay area) Oakville Grocery carries it. Cost Plus World Market used to, don't know if they still do. Since it's apparently still being made, I'm sure you can find it online if you canT find it in a store. What about that humongous international food market in NJ that Jim Leff raves about? Mon Feb 05 17:45:57 -0800 2007 2261650 10255 Gary Soup 2 2353616 http://www.thefrenchybee.com/pommery-moutarde-de-meaux-in-crock-jar-17-oz-p-100.html?manufacturers_id=50 Mon Mar 05 09:41:15 -0800 2007 2261650 57801 lollya 1 2261805 I absolutely love mustard. I usually go with a French, German or Polish brand. Most of the imported mustards from France are quite expensive but worth every mouthful. I mostly use either Grey Poupon or Kosciusko, a hearty deli-style mustard ideal for pastrami on rye and other such classics. It's also a wonderful addition to any recipe, from baked ham to beans and potato salad. Mon Feb 05 12:39:19 -0800 2007 2259790 62857 CuzinVinny 2 3945302 FYI: Grey Poupon is made in New York by Kraft. Sun Aug 10 14:21:16 -0700 2008 2261805 79880 xanadude 3 3946654 cuzinvinny didn't say grey poupon is french. he just said he uses it and the kosciusko brand the most. he said french mustards are expensive but worth it. it is a little confusing, as he starts out saying he usually goes with a french, german, or polish brand. i think kosciusko is also domestic. maybe this is why cuzinvinny never passed the bar! ;-D favorite interrogation regarding food: http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080129133008AAjCeVZ one of my favorite movies -- even though i'm no longer a "yout"..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1V-4boT_ts&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIfMPeQKcdc&feature=related Mon Aug 11 07:33:00 -0700 2008 3945302 105717 alkapal 1 2261895 I also like Moutarde de Meaux, Japanese Karashi mustard and the chinese mustard you get next to the chili sauce at dim sum places. I much prefer a good dijon to ketchup in any situation. Mon Feb 05 13:03:24 -0800 2007 2259790 14028 thejulia 1 2261904 Another mustard I like a lot - especially on turkey, roast beef, and blander, sweeter pork coldcuts - is Silver Spring Chipotle Mustard. It's got a smoky spiciness and a strong mustard flavor that complements the meats very nicely. Mon Feb 05 13:05:37 -0800 2007 2259790 12622 Striver 1 2261954 A Bauers Mallie Dijon with horseradish Mallie Dijon Mon Feb 05 13:21:55 -0800 2007 2259790 11512 FAL 1 2261959 Ingelhoffer's Creamy Dill and Laurent du Clos Tarragon mustards, as well as Laurent du Clos' walnut...all are sensational in vinaigrettes...and in sauces. Mon Feb 05 13:23:52 -0800 2007 2259790 11599 Alice Letseat 1 2261961 A Polish mustard who's name translates to "Mother In-Law". Bright yellow, vinegary, and studded with minced fresh red chile. A broiled, garlicky debreceni in a bakery-fresh roll, slathered with "Mother In-Law", and topped with sauerkraut. Hmmm...gotta go... Mon Feb 05 13:24:02 -0800 2007 2259790 42449 mrbozo 1 2262409 Zatarain's Creole Mustard. It's creamy, tart and spicy. Mon Feb 05 14:52:24 -0800 2007 2259790 16797 bogie 2 2516990 Yes, indeed. I put some in my egg salad just this AM. Thu Apr 26 08:20:57 -0700 2007 2262409 12023 Hungry Celeste 1 2262500 I'm still looking or awaiting return of my favorite mustard which has been MIA for years. A semi-coarse grain with a picture of a monk or friar on the glass jar. Ring any bells? Seen it around? Mon Feb 05 15:12:46 -0800 2007 2259790 10877 Sarah 2 2516144 Sarah, I believe the brand you are refering to is "Old Monk" - a fantastic course grain variety, with white wine, if I recall - Indeed, I too have once loved & lost - In Pittsburgh PA, the local Giant Eagle supermarket used to carry it - Mmmmmmm - Too oftem, I find something special & once I do, POOF!, it disappears - Inglehoffer Stone Ground is not too dissimilar. Must search web for Old Monk! NOW! Wed Apr 25 20:52:16 -0700 2007 2262500 94306 catfood48 3 2540115 OMG - finally, someone even heard of it and loved it too. Thank you for validating my memory! Have searched through the Mustard Museum's offerings, without success. But I will try Inglehoffer, which I've seen around here somewhere... Thanks again! Thu May 03 19:51:24 -0700 2007 2516144 10877 Sarah 4 2757066 Inglehoffer comes in these adorable little ball-shaped jars. It's from Beaverton Foods in Oregon, and we can get it in our local supermarket here in the Middle of Nowhere, Iowa. Good stuff. Another kind we get here is Woeber's, which comes in a number of different varieties. Neither of these is fancy or highbrow mustard, but good for putting on brats and other varieties of sausages that I grill and serve with onions and sauerkraut. Tue Jul 17 08:42:21 -0700 2007 2540115 32586 revsharkie 3 3011328 Has anyone found Old Monk anywhere??? I need some!! Sat Oct 06 18:52:21 -0700 2007 2516144 132757 Leeee 1 2262834 Colemans English - nothing beats it......but I once had a beautiful jar of coursely ground mustard I bought in The Netherlands straight from the windmill that ground the mustard - that was the best I ever had if I am honst about it. It had a real kick to it, spicy but perfectly balanced and enjoyable. Mon Feb 05 16:39:13 -0800 2007 2259790 58434 rob133 1 2263142 The German brand "Lowensenf" is really good for bratwurst and ham sandwiches. The Moutarde de Meaux is awesome, I agree. Mon Feb 05 18:10:59 -0800 2007 2259790 68708 mke2lax 2 2263220 Löwensenf is the best German I've tried. When I was a kid we got a Düsseldorf in pottery jars, but I haven't seen that in years, and the last I tried (Inglehoffer) was disappointing. Trader Joe's is my favorite Dijon, Gulden's for brown deli mustard. For straight hot stuff I just mix Coleman's dry with water, since vinegar or wine actually reduce the sharpness (because it has an alkaline base, pun intended). Different sandwiches, sometimes even with the same meat, seem to call for different mustards - ham cut off the bone wants Dijon or Coleman's, deli ham likes Gulden's and Löwensenf. Sometimes I get in the mood for middle-American lunch meat, Oscar Mayer salami or the like, and then for some reason I want the old French's horseradish mustard we used to have - do they still even make that? Mon Feb 05 18:33:07 -0800 2007 2263142 11478 Will Owen 1 2268010 Inglehofer Sweet-Hot Colman's English Mustard Beaver Sweet-Hot Zatarain's Creole Mister Mustard Sweet-Hot Wed Feb 07 08:18:51 -0800 2007 2259790 19148 aynrandgirl 1 2268345 I absolutely love Garlic Festivals sweet and spicy garlic mustard. The first time I purchased it I was at a craft show in Boston. Unfortunately, I didn't hold onto to the flyers telling me where I could purchase it and I had to wait an entire year to go back to the craft fair and buy more. They now have a web site. Wed Feb 07 09:27:14 -0800 2007 2259790 26213 Pegmeister 1 2273862 I like chinese hot mustard and Dijon. Thu Feb 08 15:03:21 -0800 2007 2259790 43660 billjriv 1 2273913 My favorite is Fallot Dijon, especially with Keller's easy recipe for roasted chicken. Not a lot of love on here for plain yellow mustard, but a local supermarket in Austin - Central Market - has a great house brand Thu Feb 08 15:22:00 -0800 2007 2259790 67950 rollledspleen 2 2274750 I like plain yellow from time to time I go into simple mode. Thu Feb 08 20:32:33 -0800 2007 2273913 43660 billjriv 1 2274042 I love all sorts of mustards but the most enjoyable (not "the best", but the most enjoyable) was the Gulden's Spicy Brown on a Fenway Frank on an August afternoon at Fenway Park. Thu Feb 08 16:08:14 -0800 2007 2259790 12103 Greg B 2 2332761 With the Sox leading the Pin-Stripes by how many runs and in what inning? Colman's English, BTW Mon Feb 26 22:05:04 -0800 2007 2274042 45436 Harp00n 2 2746478 speaking of ballpark mustard, the Indians have GREAT mustard that you can buy all over Ohio in supermarkets! I believe you can even order it over the internet. It's a creamy brown mustard. great on sandwiches, as a french fry dip, and perfect with hot dogs. Of course Browns fans might say stadium mustard is the best but I, a Yankees fan, have to vote for the Indians. http://www.scoreboardgourmet.com/2007/06/mustard-v-mustard-in-cleveland.html Fri Jul 13 09:05:42 -0700 2007 2274042 34796 sarapeater 3 2747744 Bertmans! Fri Jul 13 14:19:33 -0700 2007 2746478 22220 Kelli2006 1 2274335 Its this hot German mustard in the tiny beer mug, labeled Dusseldorfer. Thu Feb 08 17:51:22 -0800 2007 2259790 22627 MaspethMaven 1 2274350 Maille dijon with tarragon. After that, with green peppercorns. Thu Feb 08 17:53:00 -0800 2007 2259790 12135 John Manzo 1 2276644 surprisingly, my overall favorite is boars head mustard on everything from sandwiches to sauces. i don't know why but i find it really delicious. even stranger (to me) i'm not a huge fan of the french mustards. Fri Feb 09 12:05:12 -0800 2007 2259790 10246 choctastic 1 2276756 Queen's Gate - a British mustard with a unique tang. Perfect with sausage, ham and other cold cuts. They stopped making it, or at least importing it, and I've never been able to find a source. Also Chalif Strong Dijon. It was my favorite, but they now make only flavored ones. Fri Feb 09 12:29:44 -0800 2007 2259790 10539 KRS 1 2276790 Philippe's mustard from Philippe's, Home of the French Dipped Sandwich in LA. The horseradish strikes at the back of the nose with every bite, a lot like wasabi. Makes my eyes water. If you can't make to to Phillipe's they sell it online for only $4.00! http://www.philippes.com/ Fri Feb 09 12:37:32 -0800 2007 2259790 47762 lilitake 2 2277617 i love philippe's! Fri Feb 09 16:23:12 -0800 2007 2276790 71596 goldenroxy 3 2278456 I also love Phillipe's mustard, although I noticed that it loses it's potency fairly quickly (like in a month) after opening. When this happens, you're left with a rather runny, unremarkable sauce, so use it fast! Fri Feb 09 22:49:03 -0800 2007 2277617 10832 Humbucker 4 2279219 you're right! i've noticed that too. Sat Feb 10 10:13:32 -0800 2007 2278456 47762 lilitake 1 2277684 Adore Stonewall Kitchen's horseradish mustard. Pretty much perfect. Fri Feb 09 16:46:01 -0800 2007 2259790 65263 neobite 2 2450415 Oh, seconded. I head straight for their mustard sample table every time I go there. Wed Apr 04 12:15:59 -0700 2007 2277684 67055 marmite 1 2277763 Zattarain's Creole Mustard is THE BEST!!!! Fri Feb 09 17:17:37 -0800 2007 2259790 46768 katp 2 2612056 I agree. Homemade is pretty good. It has a fresher flavor that mustard from a store can't match and it is really easy (and cheap) to make. Tue May 29 19:33:03 -0700 2007 2277763 62405 cheapertrick 1 2278017 Who makes their own mustard???! I do :-) It's incredibly easy and incredibly good. Makes great holiday gifts. Fri Feb 09 18:56:50 -0800 2007 2259790 42270 HaagenDazs 2 2278154 Good idea and its extra hot Chinese mustard for the inlaws!

Impossible to find in the US Mon Feb 26 22:06:54 -0800 2007 2259790 10285 Candy 2 2333586 Hi Candy, don't know whether it's anywhere near comparable, but I see that Amazon.com lists an (Edmond) Fallot French Dijon green peppercorn. Tue Feb 27 08:15:26 -0800 2007 2332767 45436 Harp00n 1 2347550 My absolute fave is Pulaski, a domestically made Polish style mustard.clean and horseradishy. Kosciusko is another good choice in this vein. Dont care for dijon, or the finely ground sweet germans, but like the whole grain french mustards. Also like the creole mustard - Zatarains. Freshness makes a big difference with mustard, which is why I think Pulaski comes off better than some of the imported brands, which may have sat on the shelf for longer. Fri Mar 02 18:50:44 -0800 2007 2259790 11130 jen kalb 1 2349443 I'm surprised more people didn't mention Fallot, it is devine! Edmond Fallot Dijon mustard from France is good enough to eat straight from the jar. They also have good tarragon mustard. Sat Mar 03 15:01:07 -0800 2007 2259790 77833 lamoufette 1 2378702 I like the Fallot Burgundy mustard. Mon Mar 12 16:08:27 -0700 2007 2259790 50942 don giovanni 1 2449356 I love all kinds of mustards, but mostly I buy spicy brown "deli" mustard. My favorites are Bauer's (with or without horseradish, manufactured just up the street from my childhood home in Ridgewood, Queens) and Pulaski (Polish-style from New Jersey, with a very bold horseradish flavor). You can mail-order Bauer's from Karl Ehmer. I'm not sure about a mail-order source for Pulaski because I can find it in my local supermarket. Nathan's Famous (made by Gold's on Long Island) is also a very respectable deli mustard, and found in many supermarkets. I used to love this super-coarse (as in, the mustard seeds were nearly whole) brown mustard made by Plochman's, but I haven't seen it around in many years. It's not shown on their website so it may be discontinued. Kosciusko (which is now also made by Plochman's) is another old favorite of mine. I liked it best back when it came in the cool glass mug :) Wed Apr 04 08:41:04 -0700 2007 2259790 26177 NewYorkDave 1 2449377 Zatarain's Creole Mustard is great. It is a whole grain mustard with a nice bite but not too overpowering. I am not sure how Creole mustard differes from whole grain Dijon but Zatarain's is widely available in Louisiana and online and you can get it in pretty big jars which is nice for those of use that use a lot of mustard.

They have a great catalog and can probably find just about any mustard you're looking for. http://www.mustardmuseum.com/ Wed Apr 04 08:47:38 -0700 2007 2259790 26994 houndgirl 1 2540093 curry mustard. not the best, but the most addictive Thu May 03 19:40:40 -0700 2007 2259790 66986 rararachel 1 2540193 I'm liking the $1-ish hot German mustard from Vons, I don't recall the brand. (Moreso than the Maille French.) Lots of horseradish. Thu May 03 20:22:05 -0700 2007 2259790 40486 Cinnamon 1 2609897 moutarde de meaux is THE best ! bien sur !!!! Tue May 29 08:27:42 -0700 2007 2259790 34684 the.crump 1 2611181 oh man. the best mustards in the world are: 1) fig or pear moutarde (from zingermans)-- amazing mustard flavor combined with huge chunks of real fruit. ethereal with a good sharp cheddar, a nice hard nutty piave, or slathered over camembert, eaten with a handful of almonds or cashews. 2) inglehoffer's sweet hot (good with meats) or lemon tarragon --> this one i havent seen sold in a supermarket, i always check every new supermarket i go. it was so light and tangy, fresh tasting. if you see it, buy it. very excellent on grilled chicken. or anything. Tue May 29 14:26:17 -0700 2007 2259790 57206 elnora 1 2612878 I like different ones for different applications... Schaller & Weber mustards are fabulous- Bavarian sweet is great on hard/dry salami. Dusseldorf Horseradish is the bomb on Roast Beef. A great general-purpose mustard is Miss Amy's Blue Point, made on Long Island with Blue Point Ale, powdered, and whole-grain mustard. www.missamy.com Great texture and bite. Wed May 30 06:54:47 -0700 2007 2259790 29614 dude 1 2613006 We recently got tubes of Reine-Dijon mustard with vinegar while we were visiting Versailles. It is excellent! It has a sharpness to it that I like. Wed May 30 07:35:17 -0700 2007 2259790 29608 Neuromancer 2 4642235 My sister and I had Reine-Dijon in France also and now are unable to unearth a sourcefor it here in the U.S. Did you ever find it outside of France?

It's what makes the "white plate" at McSorley's the ridiculous oddity of goodness it is (well, that and about six darks...) At home will mix some Coleman's into a squeeze bottle of French's or Guldens - guests usually enjoy the kick and ask if it's a new flavor. Also keep some stone ground and Dijon around for cooking and for carved ham or kielbasa.

According to the label it's avail at the RobertRothschild.com site. Can't wait to make deviled eggs with this! Sat Jun 02 11:50:04 -0700 2007 2259790 12752 MsDiPesto 1 2641853 I love mustard and I've tried many but my all time favorite is Reine Dijon. I first tried it in France and they even sell it in a three flavor gift pack at Charles de Gaulle airport. Far and away my favorite is the Moutarde aux Herbes de Provence. It has that wonderful French dijon taste with the great addition of herbes de provence. You can purchase this mustard online at: http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/12040631/Moutarde-Aux-Herbes-De-Provence.html Fri Jun 08 08:49:13 -0700 2007 2259790 104014 jillhhi 1 2756281 Plain old yellow mustard Mon Jul 16 23:40:34 -0700 2007 2259790 98401 widehomehi 1 2760749 Nance's Sharp and Creamy, found mostly in Western New York (Buffalo, Rochester, etc.) Wed Jul 18 09:12:15 -0700 2007 2259790 16794 newhound 2 2787566 Nance's Sharp and Creamy, can be found in PA too.

Huge difference between the fresh stuff and anything else. Wed Jul 18 09:42:04 -0700 2007 2259790 50333 tomishungry 1 2764485 Honeycup Uniquely Sharp. It's a good match for ham. Thu Jul 19 09:54:07 -0700 2007 2259790 25076 JFla 1 2764560 I've got to say that while it's probably got a much narrower range of applications than most mustards, I'm really partial to the Japanese type of mustard, karashi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karashi When I go to a restaurant that serves it with tonkatsu, even though it's probably uncouth, I ask for extra and smear it on heavily. Delicious! Thu Jul 19 10:09:17 -0700 2007 2259790 75881 vorpal 1 2802013 Zaanse Mosterd, from Holland, is very good! unfortunately only available in Holland... I also like the Jack Daniels Spicy Mustard. oh and Amore & Maille of course, haha Tue Jul 31 20:14:42 -0700 2007 2259790 107509 mariekeac 1 2802027 My goodness, over a hundred responses and no one has mentioned Moutarde du Violet, my absolute favorite... Made with grape must, it is purple in color and the most amazing flavor on grilled sausages or duck confit sandwiches with grilled onions... Zingerman's sells a version that has seeds and there are smooth versions as well. Highly recommended! Rarely seen in stores - I found it once at a Dean & Deluce (but not a second time) and since then, I have had to mail order it. Tue Jul 31 20:19:39 -0700 2007 2259790 16933 Carrie 218 1 2802093 Best ever was Dragon's Breath from The Two Virgins in Berkeley, which I bought from a kiosk/cart in San Francisco some time in the mid-80's. After sampling it on a cracker, I bought 6 jars to take back to South Texas, intending to give some as gifts. Instead, we ended up eating it mostly straight from the jar, with a spoon if we were civilized enough to keep our fingers out of it. It was also good with homemade pate, ham and grilled cheese sandwiches. It was a whole seed-in-brine concoction with at least three colors of mustard seed. The brine was like really good, sharp cornichon juice but there was a tiny touch of sweetness to it. The seeds were firm but tender, like caviar. I've never had anything like it! On my next trip to SFO about 8 months later the kiosk was no where to be found and I never found for The Two Virgins in Berkeley ;-) Thanks for the memory! In my fridge, there are 8 different types of mustard, none of which will satisfy this craving. Tue Jul 31 20:49:34 -0700 2007 2259790 115871 marthasway 1 3950534 I really liked a spicy deli-style mustard called Batampte, but I haven't seen it for sale in Florida supermarkets (Publix or Albertson's) in a few years. I usually just get Gulden's Spicy Brown nowadays. The Grey Poupon-style dijon mustards never did much for me, but I like the spicier ones.

Fri May 01 15:38:24 -0700 2009 2259790 28638 phantomdoc 1 4647483 In the 1980s while visiting the Ghirardelli area I had some honey mustard... Seven Sisters, Three Sisters - some name like that. It was fabulous on crackers, I was just thinking today. Otherwise I'd lean toward something more horseradish. But French's yellow remains my standard for anything soft pretzel related.

Had it in Germany, brought tubes home. As far as I know, it's only available by mail order, but it's spicy, flavorful, and smooth. A local family makes really beautiful grainy herb mustards that make the most incredible marinades and rubs for grilled meat. Sun May 03 14:08:16 -0700 2009 2259790 256229 LauraGrace
