I love my mustard!

I love mustard. The smell. The taste. The texture. There is no experience on this earth comparable to slathering mustard all over an edible object and devouring it. Ketchup just doesn’t come close. Relish does not hold up either. I love the yellow stuff.

It all started when I was a kid. Before discovering the joys of the yellow condiment, I was a ketchup junkie. Those were the dark times known as my pre-mustard days (PMD). It took some time, but I eventually weaned myself off of tomato paste and embraced the cream of the mustard seed. That yellow concoction of near ambrosia-like sustenance. The condiment of the gods.

The great thing about mustard is that it truly goes with anything. While ketchup is sweet, mustard has that tangy kick you just don’t find anywhere else. It can go on meat, fries, bread, pretzels, veggie patties, tofu burgers, and ex-wives. You just don’t find that kind of compatibility anywhere else.

While some stick to only one condiment their whole lives, others combine the holy trinity (ketchup, mustard, and relish). The choice is up to you.

Whatever you do decide to do though, keep an open mind when it comes to mustard. Whether it is grey poupon, hot, Coney Island style, Chinese, or plain, enjoy that yummy mustard love. Mmmm, mustard.
