Mustard can refer to the condiment or the spice, and this day celebrates the condiment, rather than the spice (mustard seeds), even though the condiment is made from the spice. It uses the seeds of the mustard plant, which can be whole, ground, cracked or bruised, which are then mixed with such as vinegar, water, lemon juice, wine, salt and frequently other flavourings or spices. There are a lot of different variations in mustard from many different countries. Some are quite mild; others are definitely not. The consistency of mustard can also vary, from thin enough to squirt from a bottle to thick enough to need a spoon.
Mustard is most often used with meats of various types such as hot dogs, hamburgers, roast beef and steak. It's also used as a constituent in some salad dressings. Mustard is a very versatile condiment, with types that should appeal to anyone.
