A Bauer's with or without horseradish.

Thanks for the interesting link. I love the old fashioned label. Here in Dallas, Bauer's mustard (without horseradish) is available at Central Market. I've tried it and with all due respect, I thought it was a little bland. I did not think it was as good as Ba-Tampte mustard which is somewhat similar. However, I may buy a jar of Bauer's again and this time, add some Atomic (brand) horseradish to "kick it up".

I am sort of fond of Boers Head stone ground course mustard for my pastrami sandwiches. Can't find Plochman's down here.

I'm surprised you can't find Plochman's in Austin. Here in Dallas it's sold in many stores including the Central Market stores which are owned by HEB.

I can't understand why you're not finding Plochman's in Austin. We have it in Dallas at numerous stores including Central Market which is owned by HEB.

I just checked the fridge and we have TEN different kinds of mustard in there. The one we probably use the most is the Pommery Moutarde de Meaux.

A nice go-to mustard available around here is Koops'...we like the Stone Ground, Deli, Dusseldorf, and the Horseradish.

I always have a bottle of Woeber's jalapeno mustard in the fridge. It's not overly spicy hot, and the jalapenos have just the right amount of flavor... doesn't overpower the mustard, which is really good on its own.
Nance's Sharp and Creamy is great too... I make cucumber sandwiches with that.

My favorite is spicy mustard but more on the gourmet side. I love Rosie's Hot Pepper Mustard. It's got a great combination of hot and sweet! But sometimes I just like good old Heinz Mustard especially on hot dogs!

I keep all different kinds on hand, whole grain, Dijon, yellow, spicy brown and my favorite, Kosciusko's.

My number one favorite is Beaver Brand Deli Mustard. An assertive mustard to begin with, with the inclusion of fresh grated horseradish. Wakes up your taste buds!

My other favorit is Gulden's spicy Brown Mustard.

Sometimes, I'll make a mix of different mustards I usually have in the fridge.
I always have, Gulden's spicy brown, Grey Poupon Dijon, Ba-Tampte, Wholefoods "365" yellow (Like French's but much better), NY's Sabrett, and a Chinese style hot mustard.
Sometimes, I'll add some hot horseradish like "Atomic" brand extra hot.

Note: Atomic horseradish is also available at Sprout's markets.

I would love to try imsofull's suggestion of Philipe's own brand mustard.
And as suggested by PaulBPool, I think Plochman's Mustard is one of the best "cheapest" mustards out there.

Thanks for pointing me towards that Mustard Museum. I'd love to visit there some day.

I think I like Gulden's Spicy Brown mustard and Boar's Head the best. Not sure which of the two I like better since I've never had them side by side.

Plochman's Killian Irish Red Beer Mustard is great. It's the same company who makes Kosciusko.

In the mid-1850s, Maurice Grey of Dijon invented a steam-powered machine for crushing, de-husking and grinding mustard seeds into a powder, according to Saveur.com. Before that, the mustard was ground by hand. Since 1937, the ingredients of Dijon mustard have been regulated by French law. However, the mustard seeds themselves need not be from Dijon; neither must the mustard be produced there. Only a small quantity is now produced in Dijon.
(BTW, his partner was Auguste Poupon. And now you know the rest of the story!)

Today at the store I found something new to me: Lowensenf Extra Hot, imported from Germany. I'm looking forward to trying it on a ham-on-rye.

Hi, all. This is my first post here. I have to second the recommendation of Bauer's mustard made earlier. This is the best mustard in the world, in my opinion, although I admit to a slight bias because their factory is just up the street from my childhood home They offer two varieties of brown mustard, with or without horseradish, and they're both superb.

Pulaski (mentioned in the same post) is also very worthy, almost as good as Bauer's. Kosciusko is like Pulaski, but a bit less spicy. (Both are named after Polish Generals, by the way).

Also, I used to love a super-coarse (as in, the mustard seeds were nearly whole!) brown mustard made by Plochman's. It came in a rather big jar. Although Plochman's is still around, I don't believe that particular variety is offered anymore; at least I haven't seen it in twenty years.

Everyone has their favorite. I prefer a mustard bbq sauce from Shealy's, found down south (SC). It tastes more like a mustard (it's a heavy mustard base) eventhough it's sold and branded as a bbq sauce

Speaking of mustards--What ever happened to the Pommery brand? I used to buy it in bulk from a gourmet food warehouse-type place, rather than pay the supermarket price. Now, I can't find it anywhere, which is really disappointing since this was my favorite grainy dijon-style mustard. Does anyone know the tale of Pommery's disappearance, or perhaps where I might be able to find it?

I remember years ago, Howard Johnson's had a great mustard that we use to put on our HoJos. Would like to find this mustard again and hope there was a certain vendor that made this product for Howard Johnson's. Does anyone know where or if this type of mustard is still available for purchase?

I made a post in the "recamend a mustard thread" about stone ground and horseradish musterds. I have not tried these yet but they look yummy.

I keep dijon, regular yellow, and spicy brown on hand. Sounds like, after reading this, that I need more kinds of mustard.

4) Dry Coleman’s to mix with water, vinegar, or beer.
5) Cross&Blackwell Chow Chow with English Mustard.
We’re open to any kind of mustard. Brown mustard like, Gulden’s or Kosciusko, as well as Silver Spring’s Japalino, are repeated visitors.
I will definitely try to obtain some Cleveland Stadium Mustard!

Boar's Head Mustard is also a great pick, hint of white wine, horseradish, ect, but then again, I haven't had a bad mustard.

Vegas and cleveland66 are both right-on about Zatarain's Creole mustard, but you don't have to go all the way to Louisiana to get it. Publix stores in FL (and I presume throughout their SE markets) carry it regularly. It's terrific!

I like mustard and try different kinds but always seem to come back to the same ones:

Basic yellow - Plochman's regular in the plastic barrel
For cooking - Coleman's prepared in the metal tubes
For kielbasi and spicy sausages - Pulaski
Dijon - I make my own from my great-aunt's Flora's recipe
For sandwiches and dipping pretzels or mild cheese - Betsy Lantz's hot sweet mustard (made in Lancaster PA and available at our farmers' market)

I have had Cleveland Stadium mustard and it was very good.
