Not to be suggestive or anything, but what about the
Hot Beaver Mustard?
Saw that in a lunch bar once. Cracked me up.

That Sweet Hot Beaver mustard is tempting :)
I didn't realize the Boetje's was so, um, pure... without the artificial flavors etc. as Neebee points out. I just liked it cause it's got this great flavor, and then every now and then, like when you get a concentration of the seeds, WHAMMMO...mind altering sinus expansion!
LOL...Love that picture Cosmic! Personally, I don't think your Boetje's consumption is out of the ordinary. That's a bit less than a jar a week, considering you share. I have my peaks and valleys with the stuff, but a jar in a week? I can do that sometimes.

elcapinyoazz is right on.
Pound for pound, Colman's is the best deal on the universe. Have tried many of the designer mustards but way too expensive. I was a student at Poupon University, (aka Poupon U), but found the curriculum too rich, so back to the basics.

Trader Joe's has a "Hot and Sweet" that's not too bad.
Ever tried grinding your own?
Had an old girlfriend that roped me into harvesting wild mustard seeds from the hills north of Ventura BITD. Ground them up with some vinegar and cumin (I think) - weird but tasty over time.

My girlfriend and I love to share some hot beaver...mustard that is.
The deli mustard is packed with seeds, and the dijon is nice too. Both pretty hot but not over the top.

Boy, Fluoride is gonna be steamed to see this thread!
Oooh, wait, I think we used some cheap mustard to smear
over our rotted food on a expedition. Now it's climbing related!

Could it be? Bill Mc Kirgen?
You actually SAW that underground comic of Mean Mr. Mustard?
For the rest of you, it was a single page!
A kid goes up to a balloon seller and asks for one of them.
The balloon seller (Mr. Mustard) says, "Sure."
He ties a balloon to the kid's finger,..... and the kid floats away.

This is a little different but Larrupin's Mustard/Dill sauce from way up in Norcal is pretty great. My lady cracked the recipe too so I get the homespun version now.
I'm crazy for it on an everything bagel with cream cheese, red onion, tomato and avo.
Climbing breakfast of champions.

Dwain,
That picture is funny yet somewhat disturbing.
Neebee,
In following the links you provided I learned mustard was probably first used as a medicine. I never would have thought to use it on tooth aches, and such as the modern alternatives are more effective, but not as tasty. However, when I first tried the German mustard during my military tour in the early 80s I realized its sinus clearing benefits. I remember the package of the German mustard simply read 'Senf' (=mustard in English). It was pale yellow, and I expected something like the French's mustard when I put it on the bratwurst I was going to eat. Just as I was taking the second bite I inhaled and got some of that senf heat in my sinuses and it was like an explosion. I never found that again in the U.S. until I happened upon the Boetje's brand, which I understand is made in much the same way, but is of Dutch origin.
I wonder, do people still make mustard plasters? Again, there's a lot of easier alternatives like Vicks vapor rub, but nothing like the power of mustard. Sometimes (channeling LEB here) when my head is stopped up I will take a teaspoon of Boetje's and taste a bit of it and breathe in a way that causes that sinus-clearing effect. I guess that's my medicinal use of the stuff.
I also learned from another link that the World Famous Mustard Museum is located in Middleton, Wisconsin. It's not too far out of the way on my route to Devil's Lake; so, I'm planning to swing by there this Spring. LOL...this also appears to be the location of Poupon U where one can work towards a D.D.S Degree (Doctor of Diddley Squat)!
Piton Ron, I never saw the underground comic Mean Mr. Mustard...just liked the Beatles song and was looking for a picture and found the Mustard mascot kicking the dog and throwing eggs = mean mr mustard.

There is a mustard for every occasion.

Ha! That mustard museum link of Neebee's has a photo page and shows old mustard containers. Did you know that Buster Brown(shoes?) used to sell Mustard? It looks like their boy/dog image...
Also has an old white ceramic Grey Poupon jar. Didn't realize that mustard really did have a genuine pedigree.
