1294.0. "Mustard: Whole Grain Mustard?" by STEREO::WHITCOMB () Wed Jul 27 1988 09:52

    I recently came across a recipe for a chicken marinade which called
    for 3 TBS of "whole grain mustard".  Could anyone tell me what that
    is?  I used regular dry mustard and it came out great, but I don't
    know if that is the correct ingredient.
    
    Thanks in advance!

	I believe whole grain mustard is mustard made with the seeds which are ground up. This kind of mustard is grainy in texture and is a bit stronger than the smooth mustards. A gourmet store will have whole grain mustards. There are a variety of mustards prepared this way. Some have wine in them, others are spiced differently, etc. Using dry mustard is almost as good, only you would have to use a bit more than the recipe calls for. Sal
1294.2	Try Pommery brand	VIA::GLANTZ	Mike	`Wed Jul 27 1988 10:56`	7
	re .-1, right. Pommery is a popular, widely available brand of this type of mustard. It's in most gourmet shops and in many supermakets. It comes in a beige earthenware jar with a red plastic cap. The taste isn't really much different from ordinary mustard, but the texture is interesting (sort of crunchy), which is probably why certain recipes call for it. If you can't find any, Gulden's Spicy Brown is a good substitute, though the texture won't be right.
1294.3	gray poupon makes one	PSTJTT::TABER	Touch-sensitive software engineering	`Wed Jul 27 1988 11:37`	10
	re: .0 If it came out great, then you used the right ingredient, yes? If you don't feel like paying gourmet store prices, your local supermarket should carry "Gray Poupon" brand mustard in the whole grain variety. I think it comes in a jar with roayl blue lettering. It's easy to spot, since you can see the ground up seed hulls in it. Tastewise, it's the same as regular Gray Poupon, but as .-1 says, it's grainier. >>>==>PStJTT
1294.4	Plochman's	GUSHER::MUNSON		`Thu Aug 04 1988 14:54`	5
	I favor Plochman's mustard, which is much cheaper than the Poupon country style mustard (course grind). It has a better bite to it. JM
