Mustard

[chaspul]

If you are a mustard lover try mixing powdered mustard with milk. Doubles the hot value only lasts for a day or so.
Works with Colemans not sure about other brands.

Logical next subject. After this we can hit ketchup to round things off.

With mustard, I like Colmans but find it goes better with a roast beef/prime rib dinner than it does let's say with a cold ham sandwich. The presence of horseradish in it is very obvious as compared to American mustards.

I found though that once opened, Colmans when put in the fridge for a few weeks starts to change colour from a yellowish to a muddy colour. During that period I also found it loses much of its horseradish heat. Conclusion, it's a mustard to use as quickly as you can once opened.

Any normal yellow mustard is good on hot dogs IMO, and my regular preference on just about every sandwich is a spicy brown mustard like Guldens (not sold here) and French's, as it seems to be the only brown available.

Brands like Grey Poupon and similar I've never become attached to.

You can buy Colman’s mustard in powder form and mix just a small amount at a time, thus avoiding it going off colour. As for its use, sorry to disagree but I really love a ham and tomato sandwich with a thin spread of Colmans on it, but as the saying goes “each to their own”

Always original from Dijon: AMORA and MAILLE

There's quite a difference between colman's mustard in a jar and dry mustard.
You can make small amounts from dry mustard as it doesn't keep for long. The main difference is taste. It's basically two different products. Made mustard has other ingredients such as sugar, salt, citric acid, flour and turmeric as well as water. (There is no horseradish). The main difference is of course, the taste.

Fooled me!

Edit: If you read down that link there are a lot of recipes using Colman's prepared and dry mustard....

Which do you prefer?

[HHTel]

In a jar definitely. If you mix the dry mustard, although it has a 'bite', there is little flavour. I think the powder is mainly used in recipes.

Perfect choice!

[handdrummer]

Edmond Fallot: Dijon and Dijon with grains. Both have a nice bite. Villa.

I have to agree with europtimiste for once. For some reason, I've been unable to find Amora in the shops in the UK since my return 3 years ago.

Yes, coarse grained Dijon is my mustard of choice, particularly with smoked cheeses but Colemans English on ham works well but that might just be because of memories of home from the seventies.
