This is one of my favorite mustards of all time; and yes — the address on the label is from Canarsie.

Mustard is one of my favorite condiments.

I keep and use a half-dozen different mustards, with the standard of comparison being a decent imported Dijon. For some reason, I've never been completely happt with the Grey "Poop" and Trader Joe's Dijon is several bricks short of a full load. Every pantry needs Coleman's Dry and one or more German mustards, but any horseradish infused/imbued mustards should be "mixed to use", never holding well.

One to try and keep....

Zatarain's Creole (How else to make a Remolaude?)

TMOliver, I totally agree on the Coleman's dry. I use it in so many recipes.

Of all things, nothing profits macaroni and cheese so much as a modest addition of Coleman's to the sauce.

Maille whole grain mustards are very good, but the basic Dijon is not near as good as Grey Poupon. Something about the taste is richer and more 'mustardy' to me.
That being said, the Maille they sell in the US is made in Canada, if we're comparing the ones in France it's a whole different story...

If you want good spicy mustard, just make your own with mustard powder or seeds, adding vinegars (you can change up the types for different flavours), salt, honey, all kinds of other things. This will also allow you to control the heat to what you like. Lots of good recipes out there, give it a try.

I'm a big fan of most any kind of mustard. Every now and then I will try and make my own. Generally the recipe ends up quite large, and it takes a while to use it all. They seem to mellow as they age.

I tried a tarragon mustard the other day. It might go well in an arugula and chicken sandwich, but I'll stick with the regulars otherwise.

Also, every now and then I get on a horseradish kick. Might not matter during allergy season...

Maille (France) have reinvented themselves with some exotic mustards... which are all very nice I must say. Eg Moutarde Cassis de Dijon.. or the Pistachio and Orange Mustard..

I have never seen them in store, but you can buy from their online store some of these exotic mustards in sample packs: http://www.maille.com/online-boutique/gifts.list

Mustard boutique Paris
 

In Paris, in place de la Madeleine, Maille has opened a Mustard Boutique. You can find all different combinations, Harissa Lemon, Mango, Blackberry....
Every time I am in Paris i pay a visit...

A mustard fan would be great on a hot day.

....But not as good as a mustard plaster on a cold day.....
