Colman's Mustard

I finally found a store in my area that sells Colman's.
However, it is only a small jar and it will not last long.
Does anyone know if I can get a jar larger than 3.5 ounces
and where I could get it from? I already tried all the
local stupidmarkets.

Yeah, at my supermarket.

Try Costco, Scam's Club, BJ's or check local restaurant
supply houses to see if they have some food products;
generally they will carry large sizes.

I'm guessing that you're talking about English-style
mustard, Colman's being an English company, as opposed to
the American-style mustard. If so, why bother buying it at
all. Traditional English mustard is just mustard powder and
water. Dried mustard keeps forever. The thing that gives
mustard its kick is released only by a chemical reaction
with water. It needs a little while after the mixing up to
develop its flavour, granted, but it's perfectly easy to
make your own. And it needn't even be Colman's powdered
mustard. American brands will do as well.

You can try a restaurant supply place, but honestly 3.5 oz
of dry mustard makes a heck of a lot of mustard. However it
is cheaper to get dry mustard at a Chinese grocer.

Try doing a web search for "Colman's Mustard". I just did
and I got several hits, including
ilhawaii.netmustardOpen ↗ which is the
unofficial Coleman's Mustard web site.

Of course, if you really want an interesting condiment, try
Heinz Ketchup. With Heinz Ketchup on the table, there's no
need for any other condiment.

Next time go to the same store and buy two jars of Colemans.
It's not that expensive; we're not talking caviar or canned
lump crab meat here.

There is no Costco, and this Sam's Club does not carry
Colman's. I did not try the restaurant supply stores yet,
but I do not remember seeing any the last time I was there.

I can get tin's of Colman's Mustard in my local
supermarket. One tin lasts a long time. Have you tried
specialty stores or Amazon? I use it in salad dressing and
many English recipes.

Maybe I read the OP wrong... but the impression I got was
that the mustard doesn't last long presumably because he
uses a lot of
it. I also was under the impression that he wanted to be
able to purchase more of a 'bulk' size; as in sometimes
you get a better deal when buying larger quantities.

and many English recipes.

If you want a bit of variety next time you make up your
mustard, add some coarsely crushed mustard seeds to the
powder and make it up using vinegar instead of water...

or simply just use finely crushed mustard seeds and leave
out the powder...

Why grind the seeds at all? Whole grain mustard is very
tasty too!

That's not true. Whole mustard seeds keep practically
forever... ground mustard has a relatvely short shelf life.

That's not true. Whole mustard seeds keep
practically forever... ground mustard has a
relatvely short shelf life.

"Short" relative to "practically forever" can still be quite
a long time.

English mustard is made from two types of mustard seed:
black (sometimes called brown) and white (sometimes called
yellow). The brown mustard gives the pungency, the white the
flavour. It's true that in their whole form they do last
nearly forever, but even ground mustard will last a
considerable while, provided one treats it properly - an
airtight container, cool dry conditions, etc.

Mustard, whole or milled, hasn't much flavour. It requires
the addition of cold water to kick off the chemical reaction
that produces the real flavour, and even then it needs 10-15
minutes for the flavour to develop fully. Using hot water
can create a different reaction which produces a bitter
result. Similarly, once mixed up, mustard should be kept
away from air as much as possible since exposure will cause
it to lose its kick fairly rapidly.

OK. Let's begin with facts, rather than opion.

What your sources for these statements, please? I'm assuming
you can marshall at least some authorities to back up your
claims - beyond your own soi-disant authority, of course.

Oh dear. It seems your vocabulary skills are no better than
your reading comprehension skills. I assure, there's no
smarm in my attitude towards you (if that statement
confuses you, you might want to look up "smarmy" in a
dictionary. If you don't own one, there are several good
ones available on-line).

Usually, when one is asked to provide sources for one's
statements, it's customary to provide authorities that
support the statements one has made. Your source disagrees
with you about shelf-life by a factor of about a third.
That's not very close.

But anyway, go back and read my original post. Read what it
actually says. "Dried mustard" means what it says. I didn't
say anything about it being powdered; you just assumed
that's what I meant. Go on, read it again. You'll feel silly
in retrospect and that will brighten my day.

Yeah, right Stan. The next time I am having a genuine
sausage, I will reach for the Heinz, not Colemans. The
Phillies will win the World Series before that happens.
Better yet, Temple will go undefeated in football.

yes... you can always add a few whole grains back into what
you've made...

but I was suggesting ways for him to add interest to his
"basic" Colman's Mustard and hopefully getting him to go the
next step... 🙂

personally, I only use Colman's Mustard now for dusting
joints of beef before roasting them or adding a heaped
teaspoonfull to the flour when making Yorkshire Puddings for
that extra difference.

(That last bit about the Yorkshire Puddings is the way my
mother taught me to make them. And we're from Yorkshire)

LOL I just make the mustard from the whole seeds. Soak in a
little water, then mix with vinegar and salt.

True. The mustard powder sold in the Chinese grocers is
stronger than Colman's, which always used to have wheat
flour added to it.

LOL! While I know a lot of people who use Colman's to dust
meat before cooking, you are the only Yorkshire person
I've met who puts mustard in the Puddings. Must try that
some time.
