You bourgeois elitists need to lay off ragging on ketchup.
As both a Son of the South and a fan of Thai food - I live for ketchup.
Without the red - what do you dip your hush puppies into or how do you make street Pad Thai?
Besides, it's got lycopene - good for fighting cancer.
And yes you bastids - it tastes gud on hotdogs too!!!!!!!!!!!!

fun thread
I received a nice jar of homemade spicy mustard (made with Moose Drool beer) over the holidays. So tasty! So that'd have to be my current favorite, but these are some good looking options!

Here's a yummy salmon recipe:
Mix mustard, honey and olive oil. The original recipe called for dried mustard, which I did have on hand. But eventually it was used up, and since I don't use it that often, after that I just used mustard from a jar. Works fine. I like honey like you guys seem to like mustard, so I always have some pretty good honey that I use for this.
So, you make that mix up, and then you take a salmon fillet, or a steak would work too. Brush the mix atop the salmon and let it sit in the fridge for half an hour. Then broil the fish.

Love seeing the Boetje's love here! I grew up in Moline, IL, right next to Rock Island, and we always had a jar in the fridge. It's a bit hard to find out here in Cali.
Okay, guys, back to your mustard orgy.

hey there bill, say... wow, thanks for the "sinus" share, as to the german mustard... (say, i think that wasabi, and also, certain hot peppers in mexico, india or thai? seem to do sinus clearing too---it sure is amazing huh?)... i really DO think some folks still make the mustard plasters too....
sure is fun stuff that food does... course, i know some of it can cause indigestion to some, if too much is eaten...
but mustard, it always seems to be nice, no matter what... :)
say, pleaseeeeeeeee do share, after you go to the mustard museum... :)
*also, not sure, was it drljefe???? that just said he had been to the museum, already??
will have to edit later, if i am wrong--i got to hurry and call my mom tonight... please excuse, if i remembered a name wrong here and mixed it up... :)
say, have any folks ever seen that yellow "wild mustard' that used to grow all over san jose, back in the old days... ? spicy little yellow flower... (not sure if it is really mustard though?) will look that up when i get a chance... :)

Mmmm... Green beans sauteed with mustard seeds, dry white wine and some good extra virgin olive oil. If you are really Mediterranean then throw in some capers and an anchovy or two...

Hey there Neebee, sorry I didn't reply to your question 'til now...guess this threed took a dive to the 'prior topics' and i didn't catch it until now.
Since changing jobs I've had fewer sinus problems (think I worked in a 'sick building'...water leaking into the foundation caused mold behind the wallboard and the university didn't think it was a problem...but we sure all had sinus problems). Aside from OTC meds I would rely on the hot mustards to provide relief.
Wasabi is one of my absolute favorite condiments for sinus relief. I like good sushi and we actually have a couple of good establishments in central Iowa worth patronizing. I love dipping the raw fishies in a blend of wasabi and soy sauce for that mind-blowing / sinus-clearing effect.
As for the Boetjes mustard, I think they are not making it as strong as they did a few years ago. When I use it now there's very little kick to it...hmmmm....maybe I just require more and more to get my fix being the chronic user I am.
Still haven't made the side-trip to the Mustard Museum. Next time I go to Devils Lake, WI, I will see if we can divert our normal route through Dodgeville and go through Middleton, which is just west of Madison, WI. By all accounts this is the Mecca of Mustard and I need to go there at least once in my lifetime.
As for the wild mustard, we have a 'garlic mustard' that is considered a noxious weed. It grows all over the place and takes over. It makes it tough for mowing along the roads, and chokes-out any prairie grass tracts that have been planted in modern times. It is also a great threat to the woodlands and many parks have signs describing it, and foot wipe brushes to encourage visitors to clean up lest they track in seeds. I understand it is yummy, but I've never sampled it. Maybe I should give it a try and if good formulate some recipes to incorporate it into my cooking.
Best to you Neebee. You are always a bright light in this forum.
Sincerely,
Bill

enjoyed the post...

also, johntp:
mmm, hot pastrami with mustard and swiss.. maybe some good kraut.
my mom always liked this, and taught me, at least, about it...
yum, but rich for sure... good for special occasions, though, after a good hard walk up some hearty trail, :)
thanks for the share... :)
yep, we all must heard of great mustards, by this time, in our lives... :)
proper english, or not... :)

Excellent talk by Malcom Gladwell - Choice, happiness and spaghetti sauce.
Mustard comes into play at 11:28.
"Mustard does not exist on a hierarchy. Mustard exists just like tomato sauce on a horizontal plane. There's no good mustard or bad mustard. There's no perfect mustard nor imperfect mustard. There's only different kinds of mustard that suit different kinds of people."

Matthew 12: 31-32.
The love of climbing was like a kernel of mustard seed: it grew from a small, mundane thing into a great tree and its branches and roots explored the earth and sky.
They have a mustard concoction at Pinnochio's on Main in Merced that is served in accompaniment with fried green pepppers and Italian sausage. I just ask for three of these servings and tell them they can keep the ranch and the tomato dips. They have different "settings" depending on who's making the stuff that day, but it's always scrumptious.

Thanks for posting the stone mill....it kinda reminds me of something from Dr. Who. A stationary Proto Dalek maybe?
I didn't know wasabi was so expensive, and that what I've been enjoying is mostly horseradish. I hope someday I can try some of the real wasabi. Wish I had some now...my sinuses are a bit stuffy from the latest winter storm.
Cool link there Mouse from Merced. The special mustard served with the peppers and sausage sounds excellent.
