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

Thanks, but we bought them frozen in the supermarket and he doesn't like
mustard! I did say in my first post that he won't eat anything spicy, not
even mildly spicy.

Yeah, that oriental mustard is very hot. For spring rolls, I like to
dip in duck sauce.
Are you saying you bought frozen spring rolls? If he likes them
you should make your own. So easy to make. Don't bake them though,
they are so much better deep fried. They don't absorb much oil as
long as you get the oil very hot to start with.

Good eats. I don't make them often as I would eat too many. :-D

A Happy Christmas day to you, O.

supermarket) Heh Who knew???

wonderful 2017

Then it would be easier to suggest something if you posted a list of
what he does eat. It's difficult to concoct a decent oriental dipping
sauce using nothing strongly flavored, even garlic, onions, and ginger
can be hot to some. Peanut butter can be used in an oriental dipping
sauce, blend a wee bi with apple juice, soy sauce, and a bit of plum
jam.

Don't worry Sheldon, I am getting there) Thanks anyway)

I will be making a sweet and sour sauce and I have already made one with
cranberry and mayo.

As I expect you well know, I love to experiment)
