As a child the only time I would agree to eat mustard was on my hot dog and it was the most slender line of condiment even witnessed. The barest hint of spicy flavor was like a red flag to my tender tongue. My palate is one of the joys of my life and I need not ever disguise food with a plethora of spices or peppers or sauces being used as an excuse for ingenuity. I now can allow a small hint of this most powerful ingredient because (to me) it has to be one of the most potent and over-used ingredients on the planet. I feel the same about hot chilies and peppers as well … but that is another matter. I do rather enjoy dry mustard and a bit of Dijon included in deviled eggs. Thought you would like to see some of the photographs I found while exploring the fragrant world of the mustard seed.
Spice It Up With Mustard!

I do also love mustard especially on hotdogs! I super duper love it!
Nice site you have. I’ll visit later tonight.
I agree with you about the overuse of mustard as a condiment but that being said I do enjoy a little with some foods. Did you know that mustard oil contains 93% allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), which helps against the growth of moulds, yeast, listeria, E.coli, and several other food borne pathogens? I have a neighbour who used to grow yellow, brown and oriental mustard on a prairie farm, but has since moved to the coast and shared that fact with me.
TiTi! Hello! Miss you! This is good to know about mustard. I use it sparingly and am open to learning more about food subjects. It really helps against the growth of mold, yeast and other bad things? Cool!
I am impressed by the quality of information on this post about mustard eating. There are a lot of good resources you offer it. thanks Theresa H Hall
Thank you Mushroom. I love eating mushrooms and funny thing is I refused to eat them until I was twenty-one years old. They say your taste buds change every seven years.
Moutard, it’s not just for hot dogs any more! (Tho that’s my favorite way to eat it!)
