Mustard

[Very Duke Blue]

CB&B could enter some of his art in the art competition. All y'all could drink wine and eat mustard to your hearts' content, except for Ozzie, who could pick up a six pack of Bud Lite and some corn dogs at the local 7-Eleven.[/quote]

For the mustard festival, i'll have Harley "paint" mustard on a canvas. I bet he wins the pet painter catagory, unless he eats all the mustard. [/quote

Mmmm. Now to decide what flavor mustard Harley prefers. ;)

I hate mustard. I don't, and won't, eat it on or in anything.

I agree 100%, with the exception of potato salad (as long as I can't taste the mustard). Wouldn't touch it with someone else's tongue.

I've never had tongue, but I bet it's good with mustard.

Here's some tongue:


No thanks.

Gimme some pastrami, corned beef, salami or pepperoni.

#1 Food that does NOT go well with mustard:
Chopped liver

Does anything go well with chopped liver?

Crackers might.

Is chopped liver anything like liverwurst?

Wiki says no. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverwurst is more like a type of liver sausage that does not need to be cooked. Chopped liver is apparently fried and served as a side dish. I have never had it - am still traumatized and have nightmares from when Mama Turk tried to get us to eat liver and onions back when my siblings and I were little gobblers.

Liverwurst / braunschweiger, on the other hand, is good on sammiches just as long as you don't read the ingredients or the nutrition label. It's way down at the bologna / scrapple / hot dog "use everything except the 'moo' or the 'oink'" end of the gastronomic protein scale. I liked it, but in my neighborhood, you were at risk for mockery if you brought a liverwurst sammich to the school cafeteria: "your family can't afford real lunchmeat, huh?" Works best with hearty rye or pumpernickel bread, and a good stone-ground mustard with some bite. Onion slices optional.

And speaking of mustard and Bud Lite, I will submit for your consideration a "mustard = beer" analogy. Whaddya think, DDeac?

plain yellow store brand mustard = Bud Lite
Golden's or Heinz brown mustard = darker but still mainstream beer (e.g. Sam Adams or Yuengling)
Gray Poop dijon = pilsner
Chinese mustard = very hoppy IPA
stone ground mustard = stout or porter
etc etc etc

Mustard is wonderful stuff. I think we have at least 3 or 4 kinds in the Turk fridge. With the easy availability of soft pretzels around here, there are many opportunities to sample. For burgers, I like to take one half of the bun and put a full slather of the stone ground or dijon on it and a half-slather of mayo on the other half.

Ketchup is completely overrated - good for french fries and nothing else.

I had a few l'wurst sammiches as a youngster and prolly none since HS. I liked it OK and found your combo the most palatable. I prefer real lunchmeats, too. ;)

That's prolly a pretty good comparison. We only have 2 types in the 'fridge at this time but we may have some gourmet mustards in the pantry that we received as gifts that I haven't opened yet. I prefer fancy-arse dark brown mustards and like the Cleveland Stadium mustard I had about 10 years ago when a buddy brought a jar back after a business trip from Ohio and we had pretzel/mustard/beer tasting nights. Ymm, Beer/mustard/pretzels.

After reading this post, the mods should change the title of this thread to "Ymm, Mustard."

Does anyone else like "dijonnaise" (mustard/mayo combo)?

I know sauteed onions do! Especially if it is venison liver (although the type of liver wasn't specified!) ;), but, I'm thinking, ....

mustard might NOT BE TOO BAD... adds that tangy flavor on the side! ;) Especially if it is spicy!

Funny, I was at the grocery store this evening when Lavabe called me and where was I, in the mustard isle looking at the various types of mustard! I was thinking WOW, there are actually A LOT of variations one can whip up with mustard and then my phone rang.... , OMG, Lavabe, Hello! My ears were burning also!

"quote="cl15876""Can you deep fry mustard?"/quote"Holyshitgimmesome

Highly disturbing.

You think it'd be good with ranch?

Most definitely!!!! Ranch goes good with everythang!

I'm game, but I'm not sure we'll make it this year! Maybe next year though! Yummy! I want to try some of these state festivals also with all the fried foods (especially fried snickers!)!!!! ;) (that's my heart pounding like when I eat MSG... where's my blood pressure and cholesterol medicine!)

My Dad (ol' south eastern NC boy) turned me on to mustard a long time ago in grits, in potato salad, in etc...... great flavoring!!!!!

Is chopped liver anything like liverwurst?

I don't think so! I tried liverwurst a while back and it reminded me of Bologna! I needed to try to see what the hype was about, but Bologna is much cheaper and has the same taste and is less filling!

OOOPS, I should have read ahead before posting my last comment!

OMG - I really should have read ahead....

My input, change the = signs to <> "not equal" signs and you might be onto something... You lost me at Bud Light!
