The Mustards in My Fridge; Which Are in Yours?
I am OBSESSED with the organic yellow mustard from whole foods. We're talking serious obseesion here, like I have to buy a bottle every time I see it for fear there might be an earthquake, or more horrifying: an organic whole foods mustard shortage.

Cook the Book: 'On the Line'
I had a scallop dish at the Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco and just about fell off of my chair it was so good-- fresh sea scallops seared to perfection with caramelized salsify and shallots with creamy buttered wild mushrooms and a delicate natural jus. So amazing.
What's So Weird About That?
Mustard of all varieties especially the 365 organic stone ground yellow from whole foods, super acidic and tangy. Yummy. I just got my Mom into dipping her chips into grey poupon, sooo much better than ketchup!
Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
La Bete Noire from the September 2006 issue of Bon Appetit magazine. Luxuriant and decadent, it is so delicious it is almost perverse.

Guldens Spicy Brown is a beautiful thing. I use it on sandwiches and hot dogs. But for yellow mustard, I prefer Plochman's. I once tried Emeril's honey mustard, and I disliked it so much that I threw it away after two whole-hearted attempts at eating it with my favorite chicken strips. I'm still looking for the best honey mustard.

classic yellow, spicy brown, cranberry-honey(awesome) and
pkts of white castles' dusseldorf mustard. And my own mix of
2/3 cup ketchup + 1/3 cup mustard to make a hamburger or meatloaf
meat sauce.

I personally really don't like mustard, but my 7 year old does. We have French's Classic Yellow, French's Spicy Brown, and French's Honey Dijon.

@Mizbee...you sound like me and my pantry! My store tends to close out weird and exotic sauces, so I scoop them up at $1 a bottle to experiment with! The latest - blueberry pomegranate vinaigrette!

Um . . . we have about ten mustards . . . radioactive yellow in the French's squeeze bottle, Gulden's, supermarket brand dijon for cooking, Maille dijon for vinaigrettes, Nance's sharp and creamy for my sandwiches, Jack Daniel's of some sort to put on sandwiches for my father-in-law and other visitors, Koop's Arizona Heat (my husband's condiment of choice for many things), at least two kinds of honey mustard for sauces, some kind of fancy raspberry honey mustard dip (Rothschild's, I think) for pretzels and the like, and a few bits and pieces of other assorted flavors. Sometimes we have my mother's homemade mustard and it rocks in almost everything. We also keep Colman's dried mustard and whole mustard seeds on hand for rubs, sauces, picking and the like.
But if you think we have a lot of mustards, you should see our hot sauces and other chili condiments . . .

I haven't seen it mentioned, but Heinz sells a spicy brown mustard which is very good and also very inexpensive.

@Paula Maack--you just had to make it easy and link me right to the site. Now that I've ordered that lovely trio of Sierra mustards, I have to make sure I get the pkg. before my husband sees it, and slide them into the fridge without him figuring out that there are three new jars of mustard in there.

I have dijon, stone ground and Irish stout mustards in the fridge right now. I'm currently out of (and must buy more) a smoked flavor mustard that I like to keep on hand for meatloaf making. BF is keen on mustard instead of ketchup in his meatloaf. I like either Jack Daniels Hickory Smoke flavor or Hannaford's brand BBQ mustard for this purpose.
In my pantry I also keep mustard seeds and powder. Sometimes we crush the seeds and add them with some of the powder to bread dough. The resulting bread is fantastic!

I usually have about a dozen on hand, and they vary. German, Bavarian and French all rock, as are many homemade and artisan varieties.
Frankly, I am surprised no one here has mentioned how awesome the Sierra Nevada mustards are. Their Pale Ale Honey is perfect with ham or anything you want a great honey mustard for, I love the Porter Spicy Brown with brats and cured meats, and the Stout Stoneground is perfect for recipes that call for a good grainy mustard.
I am not fond of French's or Coleman's, but I will use them on a hotdog if there is nothing else around.
Cheers,
~ Paula

Honeycup Mustard is the best, hands down, honey mustard around.

I didn't read all of the comments so not sure if this has been mentioned, but wanted to give a shout out for Kozlik's (from Toronto). They have a little stand in the St. Lawrence Market where you can try any of their about 40 different kinds of mustard, with pretzel sticks or fried peameal bacon, divided into sweet, savory, and hot...YUM! Right now I'm stocking Amazing Maple, Triple Crunch, Double C, and Balsamic Fig and Date.

@brooke29 - where do you get the raspberry champagne and dill mustards? I LOVE dill, and the raspberry is too different not to try!

I think you have a nice variety of mustard myself. The only thing I would add, I'm not too sure you'll be able to find that far north, and that's a mustard based South Carolina style BBQ sauce. Of course, you could make your own. It may sound strange, but I swear it's good eats. This is coming from a a BBQ fanatic who is more into the traditional Lexington style and Eastern Carolina vinegar style. That South Carolina style sauce is some good stuff.
I must ask...
I don't keep my mustard in the fridge. Am I nuts for doing this? I don't keep my ketchup in it either.

I'm actually (the minority here) not a huge fan of mustard; I don't, say, like it on a sandwich or burger. But. I cannot cook without it. As an ingredient mustard is beyond necessary, be it salad dressing, egg salad, lots of marinades for beef...so while I don't share ya'll's passion, I understand it.
in my fridge is
Maille dijon, always.
Ingelhoffer honey mustard
French's yellow (for a friend who always wants some when he's here for dinner)
and I keep dried mustard powder on the spice rack (Penzey's)

Hurray for mustard freaks! I feel so much better now.

I am always after my condiment freak of a fiance to use some of the mustards in our fridge. That being said, there is a local Chinese place that has the best hot spicy Chinese mustard and we always ask for like quadruple the amount they usually give out so we always have some in the fridge. Among our many other mustards.

I recently bought a bottle of Nathan's Original Coney Island Mustard to try on hot dogs and it's pretty good.
Nunda Mustard ( http://www.nundamustard.com ) is a local company that has some really good mustards. My favorites are
Horseradish Caraway
Cracked Peppercorn
Cajun Onion

Oh Oh .. and you can't leave out ... the large jar of Zatarain's Creole Mustard in there too!!

Mustard! On hamburgers, hot dogs, in salad dressing, on sandwiches, in dips, on saltine crackers (yep) ... Love it!
I have some generic yellow mustard, Plochman's yellow mustard, Wegman's own brand of Dijon, some stone ground Irish mustard with Whiskey, German brown mustard, and a can of dry Coleman's mustard in the cabinet.
You can have the ketchup! But, don't take my mustard!!
I even made my own ground mustard once with garlic ... yum!!!
The Mustards in My Fridge; Which Are in Yours?
I usually have three or four mustards on hand at any given time.... in recent years, it's become my favorite condiment.
The best is Honeycup mustard. It's thick and grainy and almost molasses-like in consistency. Honestly, I could eat it by the spoofun!
