English mustard

English mustard is a traditional mustard variety originating from England. This type of mustard is characterized by its bright yellow color and thick texture. Although it’s often enjoyed as a condiment that’s used with cold or hot meat dishes, English mustard is most commonly used as a flavoring or cooking ingredient due to its strong flavor.

There are many bottled versions containing this mix of yellow and brown mustard seeds, but there’s also the powdered form which is mixed with cold water before use to unleash its full range of heat and flavors. For a milder flavor, mix it with milk instead of water.

It’s recommended to use it with roast beef and ham, sauces, mature hard cheese, and sandwiches for a kick of heat. The most popular brand of English mustard is Colman’s, dating back to 1814.
