        <content>I am officially addicted, ADDICTED to mustard of all types.  It changes with time in which I am enthralled with, but lately I have been putting Grey Poupon and Tabasco-infused mustard on literally everything I eat. 

I also know there is always a time and place for horseradish mustard, honey mustard, grainy mustard, and the other great options.  The best thing is really how good mustard is for you- Ive even tried making my own from scratch.

So lets hear it- what is your favorite mustard in all the land?</content>

      <content>Too many to mention - I usually have anywhere from 10-20 mustards in my fridge/pantry.  I know there have been several threads on CH which I can't find right now, but you might want to check out this link.

      <content>Wow, and I thought I was bad. :)

Since I like it and it's so cheap, I frequently pick up something different just for the hell of it (eat some then toss the rest 2 years later!), but in terms of basics, I like smooth Dijon type for general purpose use - eating and cooking, coarse grain for some cooking uses, not so much for eating, American brown/gold for stuff like hotdogs and sausage, and "Chinese" hot mustard for serious kick when warranted.  When available I generally for "extra hot" even among the European-type mustards..

I don't much like "mustard plus" except for special purposes.  It'd take me a years to finish jars of honey mustard or Bavarian sweet mustard for example because I use them for very specific purposes and I neither make a lot of ham sandwiches at home nor go through tons of those little German veal breakfast sausages..  

Flavored mustards are OK, but I never seem to finish them fast enough to bother buying them to eat at home so if I need something like that, I make up what I need myself or do without...</content>

      <content>LOL  Yeah, it's an addiction.  :-)  My "standards" are usually Maille dijon; Gulden's brown, Inglehoffer's whole grain, and usually at least one flavored that are in my fridge in use at any one time (however, currently there's a grape must mustard, roasted garlic mustard, and one other I can't recall).

However, the pantry is another thing.  I've got pineapple mustard, I've got mango mustard, I've got several different maple mustards, I've got some from Stonewall Kitchen (love those little sampler jars!).  I was just up in Quechee, VT last Friday, and picked up three more mustards - Spicy Hot and Sweet Hot mustards from Northeast Kingdom Mustards  (http://northeastkingdommustard.com/ ) and Balsamic Vinegar and Fresh Garlic Mustard from Fox Hollow Mustard (http://www.sugarbushfarm.com/Products.aspx?pn_deptid=157 ).  Didn't need 'em.  But figured I'd use them soon enough  :-) and I expect to tonight.

And I use the flavored mustards as part of a marinade for chicken/beef/pork.  I plan to use the maple mustards for some pork chops tonight.</content>

      <content>Me too, but surprisingly it did not do well in a recent taste taste (think it was Cook's Illustrated, but could be wrong).

Mustardfreaks, of which I am an avowed one, should not miss Philippe's The Original in Los Angeles.  Supposedly the originator of the French Dip sandwich,
their mustard is a wicked hot brew, with a flavor similar to Colmans.  I always buy at least a couple of jars to take home.

And any mustard at Trader Joe's is worth a try.</content>

      <content>I'm with LindaWhit -- too monay to mention.  The two already cited -- Colmans dry and Maille are both favorites.  So, too, is the Pommery in the classic crock, and Plochman's from Chicago.</content>

      <content>Once again I will share my source with a YankeeFan, just kidding buddy.  Here is the best site for some of the nicest mustards and hot sauces, relishes I have ever found.  If you like extremely hot, " Scotch Bonnet Stew" is for you, mind you that they are not for the weak at heart.  Very reasonable prices from a locally homemade brand.  Most jars are $5 and a few $10, the more expensive ones you won't use that often, trust me !!!
The company is out of Worcester, MA, there are all of the products listed on the homepage from this product.

The homepage is 

www.drgonzos.com


Here is the XX Mustard Paster XX  Yank !!!!
https://www.drgonzos.com/pc-30-6-xx-mustard-plaster-xx.aspx

If you purchase please use me as a reference with my email
Jimmunhall@yahoo.com

I think we both get a  discount that way.  Check out his 
2-Step Program for that info also.</content>

      <content>Ive actually thought about joining one of those mustard of the month clubs where you get 4 different ones each month.  bit pricey but it should take some of my indecisiveness out of choosing my newest trials.

I am eager to try that scotch bonnet one you mentioned.  I always end up making my own hot mustard by adding all kinds of hot sauces and creating bizarre concoctions. 

I will reference you, the other site I have been looking at is www.mustardmuseum.com

      <content>L&#246;wensenf is one of my three favorites, and I think the best German one I've tried. If you have Trader Joe's in your area their own brand of Dijon beats GP and the rest for both price and flavor, since they stock and sell it within two weeks of its manufacture. And of course good old Colman's, made JUST with water (and maybe a pinch of salt), for that sinus-clearing jolt a good ham sandwich requires. Mrs. O likes the coarse-grained Pommery, for which her dad used to be the West Coast importer, but it's never done much for me. Nor do I like the sweet ones.</content>

      <content>Lowensenf is my favorite German mustard.  Philippe's  (although as noted elsewhere seems more horseradish than true mustard) is my go to for scrambled eggs.  Coleman's, of course, but I was crushed when they changed the top from the pry-off to the plastic.  There's a place on Ventura Blvd. in Woodland Hills, CA called Le Bon Bread that has the most amazing Dijon;  you can buy it by the pint or quart.  IMO much better than Grey Poupon or Maille.  </content>

      <content>My favorite is a French brand of Dijon mustard with green peppercorns. Last fall when I was in London I meant to stock up with atleast 6 jars and all I could get was 3 ;-(  . I'm going to have to figure out my own recipe for it. London is not going to be in the picture until the dollar and pound have more parity.</content>

      <content>Maille has stores is Paris and Dijon with mustards and vinegars.  I think they had 3 mustards on tap 2 years ago at the Dijon store.  The mustard seed that Maille uses is grown in Canada.  I've switched to Edmond Fallot from Beaune, France which I like a little bit better.</content>

      <content>Zatarain's Creole Mustard - it's a little different style than you might be used to, but I love it on sandwiches, or on pork or chicken. 
In some circumstances I like Kosciusko Beer Mustard - it sounds kind of gimmicky, but it's actually really good. I use this more like an american-style mustard, on burgers and brats and stuff, also sometimes for cooking.
And Gery Poupon may be overhyped but it's a good dijon. </content>

      <content>Do you really notice much of a difference between Zatarain's and French wholegrain mustards?  I bought some once for a recipe, but after I tasted it, I didn't bother again - though maybe if they shold bigger bottles around here they might be a viable alternative.  But those little ones are gone in a flash!</content>

      <content>Zatarain's has a hard-to-identify extra taste that I haven't gotten from any other mustard - I don't know really how to describe it because I can't isolate the ingredient, sort of a "deep kick" if that makes any sense. </content>

      <content>One I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is Batampe deli mustard.  It is wonderful.  I grew up with Gulden's and always have Gulden's in my fridge for sandwiches and hot dogs, but that's only because Batampe is hard to find around here.  It's thicker than Gulden's and much spicier, perhaps due to horseradish?  The seeds are also coarser.  It comes in a big jar, about the size of a peanut butter jar, and I have usually seen it for sale near supermarket delis (on the rare occasions I see it at all) rather than in the mustard aisle.

Call me a heathen, but I also love Ken's Steak House Honey Mustard Dressing.  I've sampled several different storebought honey mustard salad dressings, and most of them are gross, even though I love honey mustard dressing on salads I order at restaurants.  I'm convinced the same restaurants must use Ken's.  It's sweeter than it is mustardy, but it's awesome on salads every now and then.</content>

      <content>A friend brought me some German mustard from Europe that is absolutely a grade better than any American mustard I've ever had, and better than 99% of any French mustards, too. It's Hengstenberg Medium Hot Mustard (not really terribly hot at all), also available as a sweet mustard. It's about $5 for 250 grams and comes in a small ceramic crock. A true treat on anything you like with mustard.

      <content>as with many replies, it completely depends on the use.  many of my favorites have been mentioned, but for me there is one glaring omission thusfar.  my all-time favorite mustard to put on a GOOD corned beef sandwich (e.g. Katz's corned beef in NYC) is hebrew national deli mustard.  sometimes it's also nice to blend it with a LITTLE honey.</content>

      <content>Pommery for whole grain.

Sinus-clearing French Grey Poupon (not the wimpy stuff made in the US, which tastes like it's half ballpark mustard) for straight-up Dijon, though I'm almost as happy with Maille. We used to be able to get Edmond Fallot's Dijon mustards and they were the best and least expensive of all.

A friend once brought back a small jar of Dijon mustard mixed with black olive paste that was incredibly good. Don't recall the brand but haven't run across anything similar since and adding olive paste to Grey Poupon or Maille isn't the same.

      <content>Went to the Maille store in Paris and could've bought the entire stock of flavored mustards and vinegars... regret that I didn't.  One of my faves there is the moutarde noixette -- or (wal-)nut mustard, if you will.  The latter expression apparently has a second meaning in English that I wasn't aware of.  Anywho.  It is absolutely wonderful in a vinaigrette with walnut oil and sherry vinegar.  Too bad they don't deliver outside of France.</content>

      <content>That's MISTER MUSTARD to you Buddy! Mr. Mustard Original Hot Brown Mustard. Not sure where it's made but can only seem to find it locally here in Chicago at some stores and even then not regularly.  In fact not too many of my family have even heard of it. It's a FANTASTIC mustard with just the right amount of kick to it.  
http://www.faaimports.com/Mister-Mustard-Original-Hot-75oz_p_1355.html

Also you gotta try my other go to is Boetje's Stoneground Dutch Style Mustard from over here in Rock Island, IL.  These two brands regularly top anything else I've ever tried and I love all the mustards on the planet! In fact my friends can't understand my passion for the stuff and just why I always seem to have so many bottles of different mustard in my refrigerator.

I was raised on it and love its sinus heat. Was hard to find for a while here in Az and used to bring it home from trips to OH. Then some markets started carrying it locally a few years ago so I always have some on hand. Definitely my go to mustard.

      <content>I used to collect mustard. Cupboards used to be full of them. Then they'd pass their "use by" date and get thrown out.

Now I manage very happily with Colmans' English (powder and made-up), Maille Dijon and a wholegrain (currently Maille's Moutarde a 'Ancienne) - both the latter brought back form our last trip to France. Oh, and a tube of that very yellow, fairly bland one, Americans put on hot dogs and so on (coz it was specified in a recipe I did once). And a jar of what, in Britain, is always called French mustard - a dark brown one, that I've never seen in France but I believe originates in style from Bordeaux - as Mrs H prefers that with her steak.

      <content>Hmm, I wonder if this mustard is like the Trader Joe's "Hot &amp; Sweet" mustard, which I love.  Recently I went into TJ's buy another jar and, lo and behold, they discontinued that mustard.  I was (and still am) so upset.  I will have to see if there is a HF store near me.  Seems kinda silly to order mustard on-line for $4.49 (or maybe not!).</content>

      <content>Ray's is the ONLY stone ground mustard in the US of A.  Family owned and located in Eastport, Maine; the home of The Boarded Storefront Festival.  It is so different from other mustards and sooo good.  I have no connection, but love it.  See it on Facebook for testemonials.</content>

      <content>My parents just brought me back the Raye's Hot and Spicy from their trip to Stockhom (Maine, not Sweden).  It's not as spicy as I'd like, but what I like isn't what the average spice fan wants, but I think it's the absolute perfect burger/dog mustard.</content>
