World's Best Mustard? Please stake your claim.

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?

    One thing that America's Test Kitchen taught me was that dijon mustards are very time sensitive in that the fresher the more tasty. In fact they reported that after 6 weeks in the fridge most had lost a lot of their flavor. So I just buy the smallest jar I can to keep the rotation up.

        Just finished the length of the post. Only have tried 1/3 of the ones mentioned, despite hundreds of hundreds sampled already. *sniff* Wish there was a MUSTARD SPECIALTY store somewhere in central Florida. So many different ones, so many great ones.

        If any of you all have thick capital, it might be a killer investment to start a mustard / ketchup / hot sauce specialty chain and stick one or two in big cities in the closest states or provinces near where you live. If I had the money I sure would.

        I remember going to the hot sauce store in Los Angeles' Farmer's Market and the place was just booming and brimming with customers. You combine tons of mustards, ketchups, and hot sauces you'd be rocking the planet in under 10 years I'd bet. Feel free to include me in the company in some faction, LOL :-D

          I would easily say Reine Dijon (France) Citron Vert. I am a mustard junkaholic, and my parents went to France back in the early 2000's. Knowing I was a total MJ, they bought me an 8-pack of different flavored mustards in a cute mini-wooden crate when as a gift.

          I nearly wept over the Citron Vert bottle's passing. They also had a killer Lime and Vin Blanc mustard in the batch. I wish 1) I could taste every mustard flavor they have (parents said they had at least 20 flavors) and also 2) I wish had a local supplier of Reine Dijon Citron Vert for life. It was by far and above supreme to the hundreds I've tasted.

          I think as great as the Vert, Lime, and Vin Blancs were they are most likely the greatest mustard Company on the planet. If I ever come back into free and easy spending days, I'm ordering a damn crate of it from France direct!!!

            Beaver hot mustard, Mendocino Hot and Sweet, French's (!) for certain foods, and good old Poupon Dijon. Especially the grainy one.

              The mustards I prefer are NOT sweet. I tend to like mustards that pack some degree of heat, but that doesn't mean that they necessarily have to have horseradish or peppers as an ingredient. I have tried many different brands over the years, but my favorites remain these.

              Mister Mustard
              French's Spicy Brown (relatively new product, IIRC)
              Maille Dijon
              and ... Gold's Mustard (perfection achieved when added to pastrami).

                Hmm...I just bought, for the first time, a jar of real Maille original dijon mustard (not the product from Canada, the one from France, which I found at Cost Plus) and I have to say, it is truly perfect. What every Dijon should be like.

                      I love all manner of fancy mustards, but my absolute favorite costs $4 at my local grocery store: Honeycup's Uniquely Sharp mustard. It's quite hot, slightly sweet, much stickier than most and literally makes my mouth water:

                        I love Bone Suckin' mustard!! It's hard to find, though. I've only had luck finding it at Balducci's.

                          I have always wondered why French's and Heinz yellow mustards are so popular. And the Dijon's, like Maille, go limp after a few weeks oxidation.
                          Then I discovered a bright tasting yellow mustard, "Billy Bee", now a part of McCormick's.
                          Really nice on dogs and ham. Good in Carolina mustard sauce.
                          Wish I could get Gulden's, but this will do.

                            I'm partial to Sierra Nevada Breweries PALE ALE, HONEY & SPICE Mustard.
                            No corn syrup or filler ingredients, nice bite, has Tumeric in it.
                            I buy it from the Brewery online. They have a couple of other varieties too. Good stuff.

                                I love Kozlik's, both their sweet & smoky and hot horseradish. The horseradish one is so hot, it can double as tear gas.

                                  no doubt - Dr. Gonzo's Moose river Adirondack Black Fly Mustard - like Grey Poupon, but with more heat at the back end, See www.drgonzos.com or for some fun viral vidoes: http://www.youtube.com/user/DrGonzosC...

                                              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.

                                                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.

                                                          Hmm, I wonder if this mustard is like the Trader Joe's "Hot & 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!).

                                                            The sweet hot is great. The Coney Island gets eaten here very fast. I also like the safeway brand of southwestern mustard- it has a specific name I can't quite recall but it is very impressive relative to a many $12+ jars

                                                            i used to like all sorts, then oneday something stopped me in my tracks. one is made with weissbier/wheat beer, and the other rotbier/red beer. i want no others since. not sure if one can get these mustards anywhere outside of beautiful medieval Nürnberg, [luckily, only a few hours from my food hell].

                                                              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.

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.

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.

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.

                                                                        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.

                                                                        1. i

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

It is a local, family owned business in Cleveland. Stadium Mustard, is owned by Davis Food Company, and is *not* available at the Indians games. Perhaps you can clear up which one it is you are referring to as one you like.

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.

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.

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 !!!

                                                                                                                                          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..

                                                                                                                                            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... ). 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.
