Ask Lemmy

Where I live? Hot dogs and polishes.

I love mustard. I always have several varieties: Yellow, Dijon, stone-ground, and powdered. I usually put it on cold cut wraps, but there's plenty of recipes that call for it, too.

Every once in a while I get a weird craving for it and end up using it as a dip, just straight mustard, for most of my meals for like a week straight until the craving goes away.

Usually on a ham sandwich. But I've also used mustard powder to make honey mustard sauce and as part of a dry rub for seasoning meat before cooking it.

Cranberry mustard is awesome

Brown mustard on sausage/hot dog.

I mix it in my mashed potatoes.

Salad sauce in fr

Sandwiches, burgers, and hotdogs

Sandwich pal!

Yellow American or brown German on sausages. Dijon mixed in salad dressing and sauces.

I like to add grey poupon to potato salad because even if it is a mustard potato salad it is usually not a strong enough mustard.

1. Mix with honey

2. Dip chipolata sausages

I mix it with baked beans and ground beef.

Mixed with honey and jam as a dip for mini weenies

With a spoon, like everyone else

You talking a specific plant? Because boy are there a lot of mustards.

On sandwiches.

Whole grain mustard mixed with dill and honey to dip my chicken nuggets in

On a head cheese sandwich. I had to look up the English term because head cheese sounds really weird, we call it hoofdvlees (head meat) or preskop.

Putting it on Costco's food. Other people seldom eat mustard.

I don’t like mustard.

Chillis though… mmmmm

Some are the kind you spread and some are the kind you squirt.

But mostly on sandwiches and sausages.

I use it on hot dogs and hamburgers, but only a tad because I like ketchup more - but somehow a corn dog needs both.

I don't eat it when I'm in vata-metabolism, but love it otherwise, on savory or heavy foods.

If you happen to be in one of the fundamental metabolisms ( kapha, pitta, or vata ), then doing the experiment of making a meal with pairs of dishes, 1 of only-pacifying-for-your-metabolism ingredients, & the other of that pair with only-aggravating-for-your-metabolism ingredients, using the ingredients-lists in David Frawley's "Ayurvedic Healing, then if you've enough health-sense ( some block it, or don't have any ), then you will probably find the differences between how your body's spirit reacts to the different dishes in each pair-of-dishes to be astonishing.

IF you do the experiment & find the results are a whole-life-scale wakeup-call, as I did, then the next book to get, to increase one's understanding of the fundamental metabolisms, and how they work, is Frawley & Kozak's "Yoga For Your TYPE" book.

Between those 2 books, anyone who has a definite metabolic-process-lopsidedness, and finds that the competence offered in those 2 books is on-point, can have much easier health & healing throughout the rest of their lives.

It is entirely possible, through wrong diet, wrong health, etc, to lock one's life into kapha-metabolism ( which is the real root of the "obesity epidemic": it's a kapha-metabolism epidemic, and obesity is only the symptom of it ).

I've learned that kaphas generally don't bother investing in spiritual-leverage, the same as deaf people don't consume music, much.

I actively broke my lifelong ultra-vata, then less than 3y later, accidentally broke my pitta into pure-kapha, through incorrect fasting ( sensation-of-hunger pushes one's unconscious to switch from any other metabolism into kapha, the famine-survival metabolism ).

I broke that pure-kapha deliberately, as quickly as possible, and now am in a mixed metabolism, which changes chaotically.

Most just remain stuck in the one they were born into, or gradually drift, in old-age, into vata, or wreck their health with kapha at some point, & stay there...

It's cause, however, is a mixture of unconscious-mind "posture" and epigenetics, from the looks of the evidence this-life has put in my face.

Unconscious-fear-of-hunger drives the switch to kapha, unconscious-certainty-that-only-ACTION-is-valid pushes one to switch into more pitta, & unconscious-certainty-that-only-spirit-energies-are-valid pushes towards vata-switching.

the pairs-of-dishes-with-opposite-ingredients experiment can't work on anybody with a mixture of all-3 metabolisms: none of the dishes is going to be horribly-wrong or amazingly-right, compared with its pair, if they're both prepared well, so no contrast will be eye-opening, therefore, for them, no evidence will exist for such process-lopsidednesses.

Bit of a tangent, but suddenly-discovering that I hated orange-juice & loved baked-corn-tortilla ( when I switched to kapha, 1 of the times that happened ), was astonishing.

Same as suddenly discovering, for the 1st time in my life, that it actually was possible for it to be "too hot to do any work", as pitta-metabolism did to me, but vata never had ( I'd thought all who said such things were being dishonest, because it hadn't been real/possible for me to reach that experience .. vatas are always cold, usually )

Also, differentiate between sweet mustard vs unsweet mustard: the sweet will get vata more interested, the unsweet .. just won't be popular among 'em.
