Mustard & brown sugar makes a great ham glaze. Grand kids fav. meal is mac & cheese with baked spam.
Simply slice spam into 8 slices, arrainge in single layer in bottom of 9x9 pan, mix two tblsp brown surgar & 1 tblsp mustard together and "smear" it onto slices. Bake for about 30 minutes until glaze is hot and bubbly. Really delisious even for non spam lovers

I like to mix half mayo with half mustard. It gives the mayo a kick and cuts the fat in the mayo in half. Mix in a little lemon juice and fresh dill and you have a perfect sauce for topping your salmon.

I hate mustard and don't use it for anything. Give me mayo everytime.

I rub mustard into the center of pork chops before I bake them. Delicious!

He said he was going to show us how mustard was made. I really would have liked to learn how to make my own mustard. The old dijon honey vinagarette dressing is easy and old hat! I'd like to see something new!

Use a tablespoon of spicy Dijon mustard to boost the flavor of macaroni and cheese. Mustard also enhances the color of the dish. Also, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and snipped chives work wonders on simply poached fish. I find that European mustards have a cleaner, fuller flavor than mustards made in the US. I particularly like. Fallot and Maille, English mustards are very intense and great for marinades. I love the mustards from the Netherlands but they are very hard to find.
