I like very "hot" mustard. The Dijon mustard (which is in "theory" from the city of Dijon in France), one gets in France, seems to be much stronger than the equivalent you get in the USA. Maille (one of the brands most USA supermarkets sell) is rarely as "hot" as a container of the same brand purchased in Paris--why?

A six and a bit year bump! Well, mustard is an ancient condiment I suppose.
Without reading the whole thread which started before I was born, I have always thought Dijon mustard to be a mild one. I guess mustards are marketed for the country they are in so do Americans like very mild preparations? French's yellow mustard, which seems to be the American standard, is a very mild one.

Grey Poupon is made in New Jersey by Cambells soup company(or something like that)
Dijon mustard is like Champagne,it comes from one region only,Dijon France.
Try the real stuff-not only is Roland/Maille better(and authentic Dijon mustard)it is usually much cheaper.

Not a big fan of mustard (other than French's or Plochman's on my hot dog), but I keep a jar of Maille Dijon on hand, which I use in a Balsamic roasted vegetables recipe, and for when snooty friends are over. I also put some out for a charcuterie plate and pate for a party last weekend.

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?)

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 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...
