In the food world, mustard is amazingly popular and is paired most often with meats and cheeses, and is commonly used in recipes like deviled eggs, potato salads, dressings and dips. Most of the time the seeds are ground down and mixed with a combination of ingredients to make it a smooth very strong yellow condiment, or a smokey dark Dijon. Mustard seeds often have a strong pungent odor. The English style is made using mustard flour, water, salt and sometimes lemon juice, but never with vinegar. French mustard or Dijon has vinegar and other additives for a milder flavor, and German mustard is the mildest of all. Some people choose to add in ground seeds for a spicier blend. It is found on our sandwiches, on our burgers and hot dogs, and even in our potato chips!
