I did not really think much about mustard until I tried Boetje's.

Prior to that, the best mustard I had was what I remember getting at the local bratwurst stand when I was stationed in Germany during the early 80s.

After getting married to an Iowa Girl I was introduced to the wonder of Boetjes, which is made in Rock Island, Illinois (almost Iowa). For us there is no better way of adding spice to a sandwich or pretzels, a rib BBQ or just plain clearing the sinuses than a dab of this stuff.

What's your favorite, and why?

Beaver honey mustard. It's close to some sort of hot German/Chinese stuff.

It's a local thing, but this is my favorite:

I don't use mustard enough to have a preference. But I do like the ones that have the little round seeds in the mix.

Haven't had a mustard I didn't like.

I'm experimenting with Boetje's in my BBQ sauce. I'm making pork ribs tonight and marinated the rack 'O ribs with the standard yet secret dry rub + vinegar + BBQ sauce ++++ a big tablespoon of Boetje's. The smell right now is making my mouth and eyes water.

I'm impressed with what I see of the other favorites posted here. Our Boetje's is a local favorite, but it seems every local has theirs. I must confess, I like'em all...common yellow, sweet honey, fancy "excuse me" mustard, but my favorites are those with the little seeds. I like that effect that's similar to an ice-cream headache when you know you've had too much of the good stuff.

I'm partial to Dijon ketchup, myself. (Canadian joke.)

hey there bill, say, thanks for the share...

i don't get to shop around much, but i was glad to find this:
it only has mustard seed, tumaric and vinigar... no "natural spices" or any other "added stuff":

KOOP'S
(dont now any more about the company, etc, will have to check)
(sells in this micigan area)

they have a few varieties, but i get the one THAT HAS NO "natural spices" or "natural flavors" added (being that those are approved "code" names for MSG

*though, i do love fancy mustards, too, after i first check the ingrediants... i just dont get to look for any around here and actually cannot afford them...

sure do LOVE to see all the fun brand names, etc, though... thanks!

I was gonna say all mustard is good, but then some are better than others, right?

I'll have to score some of that Boetje's. Sh#t, if Dwain likes it....I'm in!
