If you’re a food experiencer, you’ve likely encountered mustard sauces by now — perhaps that bright spicy mustard on a hot dog, or the honey mustard you dipped your fries in at the ballpark last weekend. But in all seriousness, mustard’s one of those condiments that never ceases to amaze. It’s like that one friend that belongs everywhere — sandwiches, salads, burgers, even Indian snacks occasionally!
What makes Mustard Sauces so fascinating
I remember the first time I had Dijon mustard. My cousin had imported it from overseas, and I assumed it would be sweet like our desi sauces. Not so. One spoon and it struck me like a spark — bold, silky, and with a hint of tang. It took me some time, but today I simply can’t live without it.
And then there’s honey mustard — the complete opposite attitude. It’s the sweet flatterer of the pack. While Dijon is serious and sophisticated, honey mustard is gentle, warm, and lovely with nuggets, salads, or grilled paneer. My dad, who despises “fancy” food, even requests it with parathas every now and then (don’t laugh, it tastes heavenly!).
Moving Beyond Mustard
And when you begin digging deeper, you find there are just so many different kinds of mustard. From traditional hot mustard with that zingy taste, to gourmet mustard that is sold in jars so gorgeous that you half wouldn’t dare open them.
Every brand carries a personality. Veeba produces creamy mustard that is ideal for everyday consumption, FunFoods also comes in a milder version that is suitable for children, Del Monte gives that global flavor, or you can use Heinz and Maille Dijon Mustard if you desire the real European flavor.
To me, mustard is no longer a condiment for me, but an emotion. You can whisk it up into dressings for salads, it makes great chicken or tofu marinades, or you can mix it with some mayo to create your own spread. You can’t help but be hooked once you begin.
