Have you ever tried mustard lettuce leaves, they are amazing if you are a mustard fan. They looks like a normal green lettuce leaves and when you eat it – bam – you get hit with this massive mustard flavour. I’ve not seen them in the shops in ireland (i tasted it in Australia) but i think there was some at a food market in Dun laoghaire on sat. Must just be with the organic veggie growers.
Btw, I agree that Maille range is very good, there mustards and hollandaise sauces are superb.
All that talk of pork has got me thinking about slowcooking some delicious pork brisket.
Loved this post! I am American and yes, the mustard is terrible. The only thing I use it for is the typical potato salad, otherwise, my fridge is stocked with the “European” mustard. Which, in Minnesota is almost sacrilege! Funny post though, just found your site and am enjoying it a lot!

I love mustard, especially on a nice boiled egg (vegetarian!). Any grainy mustard will do. Horseradish mustards pack a punch!
Have you tried exploring mustard selection in Polish shops? You should have a lot of choice around €1 mark.

Try the Maille. Or if you have a few extra bobs, buy some Dijon flavoured mustards from Deli (I think Fallon & Byrne has them)

I have to admit to being a huge lover of American mustard, as long as its used on the right foods, hot dogs, burgers, fries etc. Basic bbqstuffs.

I love the German dark mustards. I’ve never seen them on sale here though…

If you want a Mustard which I found a bit stronger than the ubiquitous Colemans English, try Blakey’s Mustard (if still available from Aldi)
