#42As long as it is not English mustard, which is pure violence and no nuance to it. French Dijon mustard is the safest bet. I quite like the American ones I can find in Britain because they're more mellow so a bit more versatile. Not sure about Indian mustard sauces, but they certainly use a lot of mustard seeds.

#43Citation needed.
Wikipedia [0] has this to say:
> Sanskrit generally connotes several Old Indo-Aryan language varieties. The most archaic of these is the Vedic Sanskrit found in the Rigveda, a collection of 1,028 hymns composed between 1500 BCE and 1200 BCE by Indo-Aryan tribes migrating east from what is today Afghanistan across northern Pakistan and into northwestern India.

It sounds like you're simply using too much. Like Marmite, English mustard is best used in extreme moderation. (Disclaimer: even though I live in Norwich UK, there are occasions where I'm more than a little partial to American mustard. I just try to keep it a secret)
Re: Mustard
#49I love mustard. It's probably my favorite condiment. I use it on sandwiches with any kind of meat. I have used it as a base for a sauce to serve with wild game , and I use mustard powder as an ingredient for my own brisket and pork rub and in a cherry barbecue sauce that I occasionally make. It adds a whole dimension of flavor to balance out any slightly sweet ingredients. My wife made some mustard a couple months ag…

#50I like to add some mustard to a bowl of chili, it adds a tangy taste that's quite nice.
