Pairing mustard with food
In Western countries, mustard is often used to add taste to meats and cheeses. But sometimes, you can also see it in hot dogs, corn dogs, hamburgers, and sandwiches.
It’s also an important ingredient in marinades, soups, sauces, glazes, and dressings.
Mustard is used as raw seeds and as a cream in various cuisines all over the world, including North and South America, all of Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, India, Bangladesh, and Asia.
It’s known as one of the most popular and widely used spices and condiments in the world.
Etymology
Before the word “mustard” was translated, used, and world-renown in English, it was first created by the Anglo-Normans. And in their tongue, it was “mustarde”, which evolved from the Old French word “mostarde” (“moutarde” in Modern French).
However, these later translations come from an earlier Latin word “mustum”, the first element of the word “mustard” (around 150 AD), which means young wine or “must”. This is because the Romans prepared the condiment by using must while grinding mustard seeds.
The second element that was also borrowed from Latin is called “ardens”, which means hot or flaming. When combined, they form the word “mustard”, which is as it’s known today for the tree, its seeds, and the famous condiment.
Culinary uses
The most common use for mustard is as a condiment for hot or cold meats.
Besides that, mustard is also used as an important ingredient in making barbecue sauce, marinades, vinaigrette, and mayonnaise.
It’s also a popular accompaniment to hot dogs, pretzels, and bratwurst.
In Northern Europe, particularly in the Netherlands and northern Belgium, they use mustard to make their unique dish called mustard soup. It’s a combination of mustard, cream, parsley, garlic, and pieces of salted bacon.
Mustard can also be used as an emulsifier that has the power to stabilize 2 or more immiscible liquids in a homogeneous mixture when added together (i.e. oil and water). A good example of immiscible liquids is Hollandaise sauce. If you add mustard to the mix, then it can impede curdling.
