I use a Polish deli mustard, which is sweet & mild rather than having a kick. It's perfect for sausages and hot dogs and the like.

If you ever get to a big Sainsburys, look out for their horseradish mustard - it says it's a Dijon-style mustard but it's closer to a German style mustard with a fairly gentle dose of horseradish. I recommend it. It goes perfectly with Bockwurst.

For the record, I heartily approve of mustard with sausages.

Lidl used to do something similar with their Polish offers. I know the stuff you're on about, it's lovely.

TBH, I don't like my mustard hot at all - I like it to complement what it's accompanying as opposed to drowning out the flavour.

Hotter the better here, I make up my own blend of Powdered (mixed to the right consistancy with water and left for 30 minutes to develop)
English and Wholegrain in equal parts (all Colmans) you can almost see a heat-haze coming off the pot.

I have tomorrow off. new year's eve day. but now Wifey wants me in line, at the pharmacy, at 6am, in the hopes of getting a cpl covid home tests ... just so she (we) can go to a friend's house, later in the evening & stay up 'till 3am the following day. why can't I just stay home ... whaaaaahhh ...

update on new year's. host's live-in boyfriend, has a bad case of kidney stones. went to the emergency room & is having surgery new year's eve day. not sure what time. regardless, the party is off. I can sleep late & not stress about getting home covid tests as if they were Red Sox tickets

I can feel my eyes watering just thinking about it...

Poppy and Lexi have just caught a large Mousey McMouseface in the hall.

I have just put the decapitated remains in the green bin.

I can't stand mustard on anything.

perhaps you just haven't found the right mustard.

Morning y'all
Dark and sounds blustery outside
Back to work for me today after day of yesterday

 

[biggs682]

Well in the last few minutes it's started to rain
First cuppa has been consumed
And the cat has eaten his tuna breakfast

 

[PeteXXX]

WooHooooo.. Only one more day to work this year!!

Oh, hang on 😕

 

[Illaveago]

Morning.
Isn't it amazing that it took Sir Isaac Newton decades to discover gravity yet it only takes a baby a couple of months !

 

[tyred]

The last dawn of 2021 and the wind and rain continues like most of the others!

Travelling today. Damp and overcast but very warm for this time of year. 12C on the car outside thermometer so had to take my jacket off while driving.
Boat off not busy with vehicles but too many people crammed into a small lounge area. Full loads coming on to the island tho".
The boat was off yesterday due to crew testing positive and need for deep clean.Got a spare crew back from leave for today but travel is getting more uncertain by the day.
A developer proposes 90 new houses at Craignure with 30 being "affordable". Much scepticism being expressed as the rest will end up as more holiday homes is the suspicion.
One house on Tiree is advertised by an English estate agent at offers over £300,00. Nobody working locally can contemplate paying such prices. Not sure how welcome anybody purchasing this would be but probably somebody who has never been to Tiree and will never in fact go there so will never find out. Just a business investment.😠
There are houses on Mull with owners who have never been here.

Edit I got the price of the Tiree house wrong. £600,00 it should be.

They won't be happy until they have concreted the island over .
