I must disagree. Both my husband and dad are mustard lovers so I have
bought most everything out there over the course of the years. Am currently
looking for a cranberry mustard for my mom. She said she bought it locally
but she can't remember where and I can't find it. I know I sent her some
and also my MIL when I lived on Cape Cod. Very hot stuff that was. I used
it on some turkey sandwiches and I could barely eat them.

But when listed in a recipe as "prepared mustard" the cheap yellow stuff is
what I assume they mean. Otherwise they will say "Dijon", "Grainy" or
whatever kind they mean.
