Wherever your husband bought the spring rolls would likely have house
mustard, next time tell him to ask. Or it's very easy to make your
own, simply buy a small amount of oriental mustard powder and prepare
your own, the only thing else you need is water. However I can tell
you oriental mustard is like horseradish. I like horseradish and
oriental mustard but I don't like hot pepper. With oriental mustard
and horseadish the effect is short lived and then is gone (kinda like
a good orgasm), makes you feel like the top of your skull is lifting
off but there's no burning... and does a great job of clearing your
sinuses. With hot pepper the burning lasts a long time, it burns
going down and burns twice as much coming out. Chili head is a
misnomer, the correct terminology is chili asshole. LOL
