gobbledonk Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I like mustard - I even like mustard with a little bite, but hadn't had this variety for a couple of years. Not sure if I'm just getting old, but it absolutely slammed my sinuses - anyone else have a similar experience, or have you simply eaten so much chilli that nothing has that sort of impact any more ? I'm not big on raw chillis, but I like Indian curries - this had none of the subtlety of an Indian curry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I love mustard, particularly the hotter English ones. Also love grain mustards and used one recently in a whisky mustard sauce which was served with haggis. Also like French Dijon mustard but hate the sweet American mustards.

Flashermac Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Try wasabi. I've seen people gasping in panic from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Good Chinese hot mustard. The better the mustard, the sharper the razor edge between tasting GOOD and second degree burns in your sinuses. Fresh (not reconstituted powdered) wasabi is also delightful. You almost never see the fresh stuff in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 We would get the wasabi root and grind it up fresh! One time my father visited me while I was working in Japan. We went to a local sushi place and before I could say anything, my father ate the lump of wasabi that was on his plate! After turning 64 shades or red...he was OK but then he knew about wasabi...

gobbledonk Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Yep - wasabi is notorious, along with some of the more 'aggressive' Indian spices, but I guess I've been lulled into a false sense of security with the stuff labelled 'Mustard' on Aussie supermarket shelves. One can only imagine how 17th century Europeans would have greeted spices - and why the trade became so incredibly lucrative - after centuries of having little beyond salt to season their food.

cavanami Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 In present day Germany, especially in the northern parts, they have little more then salt...black pepper is about all they can handle! When I lived/worked there, I tried to find some hot spices, but had to settle for black pepper...yes, this was some years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correction, it was actually a whisky mustard cream sauce. :up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
