Sure, I do enjoy some Dijon, course-ground, honey, brown, English, etc. variations. If you passed me the Grey Poupon, I would stretch from vehicle to vehicle to happily accept it.
That said, I loves me some French’s yaller mustard. I’ve been eating it lately on grilled sausage, onion, and pepper wraps, and its vinegarity hits a spot on my tongue that I find very satisfying.
Call me a rube, call me an anti-snob, just don’t call me late to the big yellow jug at the hot dog stand.
mmm

Yes I prefer regular yellow mustard. Don’t care what people think.

My favorite is Plochman’s, but it doesn’t appear to be available in California.

Plochman’s is my favorite yellow, but my preferred mustard is Gulden’s Spicy Brown.

I would think Mean Mustard would be your favorite.
Yeah, I like the the yellow stuff, too.

Mine too, and not being snobbish, yellow mustard was not really a thing in NYC where I first grew up and we kept it as the family mustard in Central Jersey.
I don’t like yellow mustard at all, rather skip on the mustard if that is the only choice.

I say the beauty of mustard is it’s variety. You pair it just like wine.
Hot dog or polish? Yellow
Brat? Coarse ground
Pretzel? Spicy brown

Same. I see my Long Island roots coming thru here. I like any spicy brown but not at all averse to the general yellow variety if choices are limited.

Hey rube, I’m with you. I am all about French’s yaller mustard. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Where we differ is on Dijon - don’t care for it a bit. And if you try to pass me some Grey Poupon, I’ll pass it back.

Yeah I don’t like those kinds of mustard either.

I only like yellow mustard. Just a little bit. It can over power a sandwich.
Honey mustard is a good dip for Chicken strips. I wouldn’t spread it on a sandwhich.

I prefer Stone Ground for sandwiches, Dijon for Corned Beef.
But all tolled back against a wall, yeah French’s is the last mustard I would part with for an eternity.

My mom called it “baby poop mustard”. Eh, what did she know?

The thread title reminded me of that Mitt Romney quote – “[My favorite meat is hot dog.](https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2018/05/04/mitt-romney-favorite-meat-hot-dog/)”
My favorite mustard is probably Löwensenf Extra Hot. If I’m having a burger or a bratwurst that’s what I’ll put on it (along with some sauerkraut on the brat). But on a hot dog I do like regular American style yellow mustard.

Exactly what I was going to say- depends on the application. It’s like saying “my favorite herb is oregano”. Perfectly fine herb, but it doesn’t work in everything.

Anyone have Tierenteyn-Verlent mustard, from Ghent, Belgium? I had it a few years ago and it was, by far, the best mustard I’d ever tasted.
