Spice Hunting: Mustard Seed

I'm not quite sure how a nation that loves mustard as much as the U.S. pays so little attention to mustard seeds. We're pretty far out of the loop on this one: the French, the Chinese, the Indians—even the Brits consume the spice in great quantities. There's a lot more to mustard seed than a condiment in the making (though for that condiment, I charge you to find a better guide than this one). If you haven't explored what mustard seeds have to offer, it's an edible journey worth taking.

Video: Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez Eats a Hot Dog During Game

What really happens on the NFL sidelines? People eat hot dogs. At least Mark Sanchez of the New York Jets did at yesterday's game against the Oakland Raiders, only to be busted by cameras. He later apologized for wolfing down the tube meat, saying he "wasn't feeling very good" and needed a snack. Thanks to a great zoom-in job, we see that Sanchez is a mustard man. Sounds like he needs to read our mustard taste test for optimal sidelines snacking pleasure. The video and Sanchez's explanation, after the jump....

Dijon Mustard/Grey Poupon Is Not Elitist

Regarding Dijongate, I was in the Alpha Quadrant all day yesterday and haven't really looked at a lot of the material out there on the issue, so I'm sure someone has already beaten me to the punch on this observation. But can I just point out that Dijon mustard is not elitist? Grey Poupon is made by Kraft Foods (the same people who make Oreos, Cheez Whiz, Kool-Aid, and Corn Nuts) and comes in a 10-ounce plastic squeeze bottle. Can a product that makes a fart sound really be all that uppity? Related: What Do You Think of Dijon on Burgers? [AHT]...

The Mustards in My Fridge; Which Are in Yours?

Despite the fact that we are supposed to be in spring, the weather has been particularly winter-like in New York the last two days. I thought that a little spring cleaning might hasten in the season we have been waiting for so I cleaned out my fridge. I soon realized that I had no less than five varieties of mustard lurking in there. As a condiment I don't think that there is one that is as diverse as mustard. Just in my fridge alone I have a Dijon variety from France that I use for vinaigrettes and coating roast lamb before cooking, a strong English mustard by Coleman that I serve with roast beef, and French's yellow for hamburgers....

Historic Mustard Factory Closes in Dijon

maille.com It was with great sadness that I read the Guardian’s announcement that Unilever, which assumed control of the two mustard brands Maille and Amora in 2000, will close its historic factory in Dijon, France. The facility has been producing Maille, the iconic French 18th century mustard, since 1911. But in a country where authentic culinary origin is next to godliness, this Dijon mustard will no longer be made in Dijon. In my home, populated by Frenchmen, we have no less than four flavors of Maille mustard on hand at any given time, and, in the fridge, at least two open jars of the 11-spice French mustard-based condiment Savora (produced by Amora). Apparently, the price of mustard grains has...
