Let us know the results, specifically whether you conclude homemade is better and/or cheaper than the prepared ones you've tried.

 

Part of me thinks making mustard might be great, but when I reflect on the large range of mustards and other condiments available for sale, I'm not so sure.

 

I suppose if there's some big taste improvement, and a tested, trusted recipe, I'd try it.  Still, Amora's pretty foolproof...

 Non of that is of great importance for me. I'm an experientially oriented person, i.e., I like to do things to learn and to enjoy the experience of learning. You and I walk different paths.

 

And there's the convenience factor. If I learn to make or do something myself, I can have it most any time I want it without a trip to the store or market, which sometimes is a PITA.
