Favorite mustard

Oh don't be snobs about French's. It is in fact the best for hot dogs. And french fries. Even though I do get my Maille from the tap at the boutique at Madeleine I still like my French's.

Agreed - it's absolutely the best for hot dogs. Anything else overwhelms the relish. :biggrin:

My favorite hot mustard is yellow, but it's not French's.

It's called Factory Mustard and is stone ground by Raye's Mustard Mill in Eastport, Maine. Factory mustard is the mustard that Rayes sold to the sardine factories in Northern Maine. Nowadays the packers all use dried mustard, but Raye's is still milling Factory Mustard.

Factory mustard, while yellow, has a good kick. It's a little thinner than regular mustard and just the right consistency for a squeeze bottle. There's a small hot dog shack, Rosie's on the Town Wharf in Eastport that sold me on Raye's factory mustard for dogs.

Mustard on fries. Interesting and a new one for me. Is this regional or a personal quirk? Either way I'm going to give it a try.

I, too, like French's on hot dogs; but only those that aren't all beef. It's great on a grilled Thumann's. For all beef dogs Admiration, or a good spicy brown deli mustard. Katie, I think the Polish mustard you are referring too is Pulaski's. It has horseradish in it. Excellent tasting. Very spicy. I use it on bratwurst or ham.

Yes, good stuff! I thought it was an odd personal quirk - until I came to Europe and found a culture for whom it's normal and find ketchup the quirk. Here it's mustard or mayo or at McDonald's a very suspicious Pommes Frites Sauce which reminds me of a pale version of Utah's fry sauce.
