Why oh why did I have work and class today?!?! I missed the mustard and hotdog love. Nothing is better on a hot summer day than a hot dog smothered in yellow mustard with about a ton of relish.
Yes, I have had random strangers in ballparks throughout our great land ask if I had a hot dog on my bun or just condiments
On a related note, not even joking, Boyfriend just went off to the store for hot dogs before I started reading this post. And I've got me some Tofu Pups and Gulden's in the fridge. Everything's comin' up Milhouse!
I have to say, there's a really big taste difference between Yellow Mustard (French's, et. al.) and Brown Mustard (Gulden's, et. al.) I like Yellow on my hot dogs, Brown on just about all samiches (roast beef should just get married to Gulden's already), and either on my burgers. Ok, that's a lie. I like Yellow on my burgers.
Frankly, she was asking for it the right way, and it shouldn't have been so hard to find.
At least she didn't demand the mustards that are laced with Jack Daniel's or Sierra Nevada ale, because we know that Hugh wants his ladies to love the taste of bland, watery, yellow paste that's been left in the fridge for a long, long time.
I used to really hate mustard but it has started to grow on me.. I like French's with a hot pretzel if I can't have cheese with it but on my hotdog I definitely want mustard with freckles along with ketchup. There is something so delicious about a NYC vendor hotdog.. although a microwaves ballpark frank comes in a close second!
Do you guys know what condiment my (British) husband has made me love? Lemme hear all you UK Jezzies: Branston pickle. I cannot live without it now, and pay $7.00 for a 720g jar at the international market for its love.
For those who don't know, Branston pickle is like a malted vinegary sauce with chucks of pickled veggies in it. I can't eat a sandwich without it.
@SisterMaryMartha: I am not kidding- please do yourself a favor and find where you can get this in your area. Your ham or turkey sammies will never be the same.
@LindsayC: doctoral hilarity ensues: I prefer "small chunk" to the original, but yes, a Branston-and-toasted-cheese sammich on white bread is my total comfort food when I'm feeling especially crabby and wish I had an adorable British accent (as that would make everything better, OBVS).
@LindsayC: doctoral hilarity ensues: @SisterMaryMartha: In NYC - Myers of Keswick has it (it's a little Brit grocery store on Hudson St.) and Morton Williams on Bleecker does too (in the "international" section).
@Sukie in the Graveyard: No, YOU are awesome. I only thing I have taken from a restaurant was a small sake bottle. Because I hadn't finished my wine and needed something to carry it home in.
@Sukie in the Graveyard: Years ago, I stole little mini Corona bottle salt and pepper shakers from a restaurant in Raleigh. I still have those cute little shakers.
@Sukie in the Graveyard: In high school I had an entire place setting of silver I took from a hotel. I also had an Olive Garden hot tea pitcher. And a coffee cup from Denny's. I was a bit of a restaurant klepto.
@EdnasEdibles: I have the requisite place setting from the university dining hall. I also took their soy sauce for my dorm room rice cooker.
I have two pints from pubs in Ireland - Guinness and Carlsburg. I would pay some one in puppies if they got me the Bulmers glass I could never find.
I have a place setting from Shari's.
But my mom is the real winner. Our first silverwear set (a full set) came from the local restaurant Tollhouse, where she worked while going to college. I still have it.
Oh, and I stole jam for my Little once. She was addicted to it and it was her birthday. She was very happy.
Without freckles? That is CUTE. I am totally going to use that.
I love love love mustard. I ate mustard sandwiches when I was a kid. I dip carrots in mustard. When I eat a hot dog, the amount of mustard I dump onto it causes stares from all around. And my teeth turn yellow.
I totally still eat mustard sandwiches! A little Grey Poupon, some of the spicy brown, and bright yellow, all done up in stripes on the bread so they meld together....I love mustard with a passion.
