For me, lettuce is a must for a little crunch. So it has to be iceberg
lettuce.

I love the spicy mustard...French's make a pretty good version. Trader Joes is not fit to eat...on thick sliced baloney and cheese with a raw onion. Now that is fine eating.

I like Trader Joe's, but I'm very picky about mustard. Some of the
Inglehoffer mustard is great. I got a course mustard once that was really
nice. It was like eating mustard "caviar".

About a month ago or a bit more, I found and bought a squeeze bottle
of "Nathan's Deli Style" mustard. As I consider their all-beef hotdogs
to be the best, I thought the mustard would be excellent too.

It's not. It's just so-so. I'm using it up and it tastes fine but it's
nothing special. I won't pay the price to buy more.

you're not sure about anything...how do you get up in the morning or maybe you just lay in bed all day coming up with these idiotic questions.

Been a while since I've had deli style mustard. (I can only fit so much
mustard in my fridge.)

Huh... do you buy mustard by the barrel... or is your fridge the size
of a shoebox?

I don't know if you've ever seen this brand, but I've had good luck
with it. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71q3ALFxx1L.jpg

Actually I have to keep the number of mustards to a minimum, so certain
people don't think I'm crazy.

I usually use Gulden's but whenever I want some gourmet mustard I make
my own (not gonna pay those exhorbitant prices for a fancy tiny jar),
very easy, and crushed mustard seed/powder takes very little freezer
space, I have enough to fill a gallon jug with prepared mustard.

I know what you're getting at. I have a lot of condiments, curry
pastes, herbs, spices, etc... I have so many components that I barely
have room for the food itself.

You should try making your own mustard. It's really easy and you can make
it exactly how you like it. It is also much much cheaper than the store
bought stuff.

Thanks for that, sf. I've added it to my Saturday morning grocery
list. If they have it, I'll try it. I like the idea of horseradish
added.

It is really easy to make vinegar too. But making your own mustard
costs pennies for a pint, it's tastier, and you can adjust it all to
your liking.

I wonder why a person would read this newsgroup if they don't have any
culinary aspirations.

LOL! I'm assuming *that* was a joke. It better be. ;-D

Good idea. I'll probably experiment some day once I retire and have
all the days off.

PS - where does one buy mustard seeds other than ordering from the
internet?

Most ethnic stores that have a good selection of spices will have
them. Not sure about the supermarket as I've never looked for them
there.

Find a store that caters to people who cook Indian food. Google
"Indian grocery" for your area or maybe "International Market" will
get you more hits.

They are sold in supermarkets at an exorbitant price.

To make mustard you need crushed seeds and/or ground seeds... whole
mustard seeds are very difficult to crush/grind. Penzeys has both and
very fresh, and mustard deteriorates rapidly once crushed/ground..
don't buy more than you can use say in six months unless kept frozen,
then they will keep well for several years. If you buy from an
unknown source that mustard could have been held at room temperture
for years so will lose its potency, and not many stores sell crushed
mustard seeds. Penzeys has regular, yellow, and brown seeds,
crushed/powdered, and also powdered hot Chinese mustard. Mustard is
the least expensive spice. Penzeys has stores too, I think there are
two in Virginia.

Only morons buy those little tiny jars and tins of spices. You can get
fresher and better spices in an ethnic restaurant, and they will be
affordable. For spices I use frequently I buy by the pound, often from
Amazon.

Any grocer with a bulk aisle should have mustard seeds. I grind mine up in
a mill and add water, salt, vinegar, and turmeric, and maybe horseradish.
Total time from ingredients to finished product is about 3 minutes, though
one will have to add more liquid over the next few days to satisfy the
ground seeds as they quench their thirst, lest you be left with very dry
mustard.

So, by your tip I should buy my oregano at Olive Garden?

I'll bet dollars to donuts, OG uses those mega jugs of spices. You
know, the one's that are preground and come in a sqr plastic gallon
jug.

Throwing most of it out after it goes stale is no money saver.

Because I use so much, I bought a large container of thyme from CostCo
and regretted it. It's in line with bulk bin quality, but not as nice
as what I get in smaller bottles at the grocery store. Sometimes it's
worth it to pay a little more.
