English mustard is food of the gods. Tracklements (few miles from where I'm typing now) Strong English Mustard especially so. Might be a regional thing (or a class/culture thing?), but mustard goes in lots of stuff where I am in the south.
?? English mustard is almost noxious
I do also like the flavour of American mustard, you just have to use very different quantities. I would recommend something like 5-10x the amount of US mustard to UK mustard. A jar of Colmans mustard should last you a year or so.
But you can't compare English mustard to hot (chili) sauces - they're not the same type of spiciness at all. English mustard packs a great kick like you'll get from good horseradish sauces or wasabi, which isn't surprising since they're all in the same family. You get the feeling of the sinuses clearing, but there's no heat/burning sensation that sticks around in your mouth. Both of these are great additions to the right foods.
I dunno about that, I can slather stuff in a strong chilli sauce and can happily eat up to Madras curries (vindaloo with some discomfort) but English mustard _kills_ me.
Sorry - that's just wrong, probably should be illegal. ;-)
Brown sauce (HP if you are posh) that's the only thing to have on a bacon sarnie.
It's a bit of a strange statement to me also. Hot dog stands aren't much of a thing here, and Dijon or English mustard are much more common than French's Yellow Mustard or whatever.
But yeah, English mustard or Dijon goes into a lot of stuff in my kitchen.
