Default Fake honey mustard

Anyone like the fake, honey-flavored mustard they sell at the supermarket?

It's nothing like real honey mustard.

Oh my did you ever strike a nerve. I like honey. I do. I put honey on my
buttered biscuits just this morning. However. I don't like honey or
artificial-flavored honey to be the only option. Wanted to buy a ham on my
last shopping trip. All available were honey-something. Stopped for lunch.
The only spread for any of the nice breads offered? Honey. Grrr. Polly

I agree. I get tired of spiral-glazed ham.

I don't think honey and mustard should ever be combined. I see it on
commercials, usually for fast food joints, usually something like "Chicken
tenders served with honey mustard sauce." No thank you.

Honey mustard can be quite good. I recently cooked a pork tenderloin
that has been covered with it. It was delicious.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I sometimes brush pork tenderloin with
Dijon mustard. I never add honey to it. I don't think they go together
well at all. And I despise the combo as a "dipping sauce".

We ate out at a steak restaurant the other day and I had Honey-mustard
dressing on the salad. I liked it a lot and I can see where some people
would use it as a dipping sauce. Might taste good on wings.

BTW... the restaurant we went to was the Texas Roadhouse
http://www.texasroadhouse.com/ I didn't have high expectations but the
rib-eye steak was very, very good and Becca's Chicken Fried Steak was
excellent. This chain beats Outback by a mile.

It seems like the tastiest honey mustard salad dressing is the one with the
most calories.

I like it too. I always have a variety of mustards on hand and "hot"
honey mustard is one of them.

I love Texas Road House. I always order their small prime rib, house
salad and the baked sweet potato, with nothing on it. It's so awesome
it really needs nothing. Their rolls with the cinnamon butter are
wonderful. They are my "dessert".

Why do you need a restaurant to offer baked sweet potatoes? They're easy
enough to make at home. Then again, I don't go out to eat as often as some
people on this ng

Oh yes! They serve huge baked sweet potatoes that are prepared like
baked white potatoes, in jackets and split on top. The flesh is moist
and sweet and absolutely fabulous. They can load the up with all sorts
of unnecessary junk like butter and brown sugar, but they are so yummy
plain that I don't bother ordering the extras.

Jill,

I don't go out to order sweet potatoes. I order sweet potato when I go out.

Don't be fooled, from reading what they cook most are too cheap and/or
impoverished to eat out except in their fantasies... perhaps they very
occasionally eat out (on someone elses dime) and then they
extrapolate... anyone can read a menu and dream, same as they do
cookbooks. Dija ever notice how those who claim to have the most cook
books cook the least.

Sweet potato fries is a new trend I like even more than baked sweet
potato being an option.

Variety. Why does anyone need a regular baked potato when they're so
easy to make at home?

There's also eggplant fries, and zucchinni fries.

I think some people make fries with beets.

They're okay with a burger, but I'd rather have a sweet potato in
other "choose your potato" situations.

I don't care for sweet potato fries [love them baked/roasted], don't
think I'd do beets, eggplant and zucchini always end up floppy unless
I batter the dickens out of them. . . but those Okinowan sweet
potatoes fry up real nice. [the red skinned, creamy center ones]

Thanks. I seem to be hearing a lot of great recipes from Okinawa lately.

There's those famous Okinawan donuts.

Sweet potatoes are equally easy to bake at home also.

No need. Just nice to have as an option. We bake them at home.

Sweet potato fries are a different story. Because of the clean up
involved we do very little deep frying at home. Never made sweet potato
fries at home. Yet anyways. If they are on the menu it is far less
hassle than all the deep frying effort at home. Not that sweet potato
fries are more work than anything else deep fried just that anything at
all deep fried is a ton of work at home for those of us who rarely do it.

I also eat at home mostly. I actually prefer it. When I do go out, it's to
pick up takeout food unless the rare guest wants to actually eat in a
restaurant.

Sweet potatoes are on my top 10 list. Baked and served with butter and S&P.
Mostly cooked and battered/deep fried are excellent too but I've never made
them at home.....yet

I know. That's what Jill said that too. Why would anyone want to
order steak in a restaurant when it's so easy to make at home?

Agreed; I'd just like to have baked sweet potato as an option...
because it's not and option where I eat.

I order prime rib when I go to Texas Road House. That's not so easy to
make for one person at home.

It is easy to make steak at home but there are some nights when the cook
needs a break, or it's a very busy day followed by a busy evening. There
are times that we are traveling and can't cook at home, too.

You make a good point. I don't particularly care for prime rib, but
George loves it. He can eat that when we go out.

He also likes to eat steak more often than I do. If he grills a steak, I
would be happy with a grilled pork chop, chicken or a hamburger, but he
does not feel comfortable, eating a steak while I eat something else. I
am fine with it, and he knows that.

It was a rhetorical question.
