American yellow mustard, spicy brown mustard and Dijon mustard are just a few examples of the wide, WIDE, world of mustards.

I have found myself to enjoy various preparations of mustards over they years and I am seeking to explore further into this amazing condiment.

What mustards do you enjoy? Are there any you make yourself? What do you pair them with?

I like all mustards -- the obnoxious creamy bright yellows, the grey flecked with brown, the whole seeds in cider vinegar. When I make it myself, I put the seeds in the mature brine from a used-up ferment, and let them soak for several weeks. Then I drain, and then blend half and mix them back up. Maybe I add other stuff like coriander, cumin, black pepper, or horseradish and maybe not. They're condiments on burgers and dogs and dips for fries or eggrolls. They also go into egg salad or coleslaw or a lighter salad dressing. If you have a weak or sweet mustard (add honey), it's nice on a slice of baguette under some cheese and apple. You can also glaze veggies with a mix of things including mustard.

Grey Poupon dijon is a home favorite, but a standard yellow mustard is always on hand as well. Dijon + Mayo is such a killer combination!....

I am with Christopher. In my late 30s I was shocked to learn that not all people liked all kinds of mustards. I stumbled into a discussion where some members of the group detested Chinese Mustard. The concept was incomprehensible to me.

I just use regular. I have had a jar of Dijon mustard that somehow got into my basket. It has never been opened and probably needs to go into the trash.

We had some left over scrambled eggs so I mixed mustard and salad dressing for a fake egg salad sandwich.

I also like mustard and chili sauce on hamburgers.

I'm with John & Christopher - bring 'em ALL!! What seems a lifetime ago, they were one of my favorite things about going to the mall, during the Christmas shopping season, because the sausage, cheese, & fudge companies would crowd into any space they could to sample out their goods. Invariably, there was a lovely variety of of mustards, and I used to love trying them all, and often bought only the mustard.

I used to think it was dijon or coleman's... then I made my own. I found that even the best mustards are just too salty for me, while others are too sweet. All I really like is mustard see, ground or whole, or in between, with white wine or beer and a pinch of salt. Tarragon can be nice, but I really just like it straight. The variety comes in growing or wild harvesting mustard varieties. THat is fun!

All types are good but the spicy Cajun kind is my favorite. I use to get some in Louisiana that would blow your head off. Good stuff.

I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
