I loved the pleased smile that (almost) always happens in Price Point videos after the first price reveal. The clear validation of "oh, thank god, I AM good at my job".
I frickin love how passionate this guy is with mustard. I’ve learned so much and genuinely gained such an appreciation for a food that so often goes unnoticed. So cool how he was down to earth about it and was honest with everything. Thank you for making this happen, it’s a pleasure to watch and learn.
I like that the experts are rarely elitist. They enjoy the cheap stuff, too, and always acknowledge that it has a place (whether in a certain budget, or a certain dish). Finding value in & appreciating the less expensive items is what makes me believe they really do love their food of expertise.
Agreed. Like he said, the mustard B had a more "artisanal" flavor while A had a more traditional mustard taste. Sometimes you just want something simple.
This was the most legit expert I've seen yet. Most of the time it's actually pretty easy to tell which is the most expensive, this one actually required knowledge.
The passion this guy has for mustard is something I strive for in my general life, such a niche thing to be an expert thing in and I commend that. If I could make a living from a life passion and be so well schooled in that passion like him, then I would be content with life. Full respect 🙌
Cheap Dijon after eating: "Barely any heat at all. Very sour. Metallic taste. It's not pleasant, to say the least". Cheap Dijon in review: "It's not a bad mustard!"
Well, you might have wanted to tell that to ice cream vendor Van Leeuwen, who had a limited edition 'Grey Poupon with Salted Pretzels' French Ice Cream in 2022. I saw it, but was more interested in their other flavors. One mustard fanatic reviewed it and noted the honey and pretzel components (included for mere mortals) made it a less memorable affair, since it didn't quite live up to it's name -- or act as a worthy substitute as a topping for a hot dog(!).
No, I immediately thought he could be an accountant for a paper company in Scranton. Dunder Miflen might be the name of the company, and his name would be Kevin.

My favorite spicy brown mustard is Kosciusko spicy brown mustard. Kosciusko was a Polish nobelman that emigrated to the US in 1776. He was a military architect. He was commissioned as a Colonel in the continental army. He designed and oversaw the building of the fortifications for West Point. He did an outstanding job and was promoted to Brigadier General. The Polish community holds him in high regard.
"Alright so this cake has actually been made with olives instead of strawberries. It's not a bad thing, it's just not necessarily what I'm looking for"
The year is 1925. A WW1 veteran is in a New York Deli ordering a pastrami on rye. The waitress asks "would you like mustard on that?" At which point the vet dives into the corner, curls into the fetal position, and begins screaming.
I was sad he didn't try hot English mustard :( I like American mustard but sometimes you want the proper kick you get with English mustard on a sandwich or piece of meat.
This Price Point series is so satisfying to watch, and we always learn a lot. Keep them going, Epicurious! Some suggestions for future episodes: Oil (olive, sesame, coconut, sunflower, canola etc.); Alcoholic drinks (cachaça, rum, sake, vodka etc.); Fruity jams (apple, strawberry, pineapple etc.) Wine and Coffee could potentially have a second episode, since there's so many types of each
While I always appreciate the experts, I feel like I can usually correctly guess the more expensive one without their input. This video had me flummoxed! Thanks so much, Brandon Collins!
Bit disapointed they didn't try English mustard; however some Dijon are mildly average when you go to France and try the local mustards, one advantage of living in Europe ;-)
Mustard comes from a mustard factory in Mexico, & is shipped in giant tanker trucks to a warehouse in New Jersey, where different labels are put on the bottles.
i prefer the flat dijons that are green to halfway colorless/greyish. i'm not much of a pepper guy, but when it comes to mustard i go all the way, they really give you a good tingle in the nose, great with old cheese
I'm a little disappointed we didn't get a true hot mustard or a little bit about the isothiocyanate that makes mustard spicy. My favorite thing about these videos is when the experts geek out over that kind of stuff.
If you want a hot mustard you'll have to search out 'Oriental Hot Mustard' powder which is made from a type of brown mustard seeds (Brassica Juncea Coss. and Czern?), though a photo of 'Oriental Mustard' seeds show they have a more golden hue than brown mustard seeds. Mustard21 (a Canadian mustard non-profit corporation) associates seven mustard cultivars with 'Oriental Mustard'. They say 'Hydrolysis of the sinigrin glucosinolate in Brown/Oriental mustards produces volatile allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) giving these mustards their strong olfactory and pungent properties.' Black mustard seeds (Brassica nigra) are supposedly even more intense. Sadly, most commercial mustard powders don't differentiate what TYPE of mustard seeds are used, but I would assume they're made from milder yellow or white mustard seeds (Sinapis alba/Brassica alba/Brassica hirta) and meant for more common recipes. The fairly common Colman's Mustard powder is made from 'white & brown mustard seeds' and makes a fine hot mustard, but after experiencing a head-walloping hot mustard from a recent restaurant visit (and couldn't get an identification of the brand/type of mustard powder they used) led me on a little journey. These all appear to be very fine 'Oriental Hot Mustard' powder options: S&B 'Oriental Hot Mustard' Kozlik 'Oriental Mustard Powder' Penzeys 'Hot Mustard' (Canadian Powdered) Though, these are three brands I'd really like to try: Yamasei 'Yuuki Oni-karashi' ['Demon Mustard' 有機鬼から] Ottogi 'Mustard Powder' Chung Jung One 'Hot Mustard Powder' I'd love to see someone do a ranking of *all* of these Oriental hot mustard powders (and other worthy Oriental Mustard powders I'm unaware of, but also including McCormick's basic 'Ground Mustard') to see if there's an obvious winner or if Colman's Mustard is 'good enough'. Yes, a somewhat geeky answer, but if you really want to be geeked-out, then a reading of 'Biologically Active Compounds in Mustard Seeds: A Toxicological Perspective' (and similar academic works) most likely will leave you dumbfounded.
One vendor has noted - "Yamasei contracts directly with Canadian mustard famers to grow mustard seeds to their own specifications. Yamasei's mustard powder is made from stone ground organic Barukan (Vulcan in English) mustard seeds. It produces a very high-quality mustard that combines great flavor with intense spiciness. Yamasei then uses the utmost care and skill to press out the mustard oil. This part requires a bit of a delicate hand because pressing creates heat and the enzyme in mustard that creates the spicy flavor will dissipate at temperatures over 70℃ (158℉). So Yamasei’s process must be fairly gentle. After pressing out the oil, they grind the remaining mustard into a fine powder. This is when you take over. Yamasei’s mustard powder is meant to be mixed into a paste shortly before eating. To do this they recommend mixing 4 parts mustard powder with 5 parts lukewarm water to achieve a thick paste (similar in consistency to sesame paste). But you must be very careful to add lukewarm water - between 104℉ and 140℉. After stirring the water into the powder, you should let the mustard paste rest. This gives the spicy flavor time to develop." Elsewhere I saw it noted -- "Barukan (or Volcano) mustard seeds [is] the most popular and expensive of the three main Asian mustard seed sub-varieties." I wonder what the other Asian sub-varieties are -- and if 'Barukan/Volcano/Vulcan' is so popular, do all of the other brands use it -- or do they all process it (or their preferred variety) differently? Mustard21 includes 'AC Vulcan' cultivar [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] in their listing of Oriental Mustard varieties, plus has a fact sheet about it. The vendor also notes -- "Do NOT use boiling water or cold water." Long ago I thought I had read that one should use cold water, as it either doesn't temper -- or it enhances -- any characteristics of the mustard powder. I hope to compare lukewarm and cold water the next time I make hot mustard. I have yet to try any of the brands I noted, besides Colman's, but I think you can guess what brand I will try at some point (though S&B might be easier to get)!
I LOVE Dijon mustard! But recently I found a new mustard I fell in love with: Dill Mustard! It tastes like pickles on a hamburger and I want to eat it on everything!

If you want a hot mustard you'll have to search out 'Oriental Hot Mustard' powder which is made from a type of brown mustard seeds (Brassica Juncea Coss. and Czern?), though a photo of 'Oriental Mustard' seeds show they have a more golden hue than brown mustard seeds.

These all appear to be very fine 'Oriental Hot Mustard' powder options:

Though, these are three brands I'd really like to try:

Chung Jung One 'Hot Mustard Powder'
I'd love to see someone do a ranking of *all* of these Oriental hot mustard powders (and other worthy Oriental Mustard powders I'm unaware of, but also including McCormick's basic 'Ground Mustard') to see if there's an obvious winner or if Colman's Mustard is 'good enough'.
Yes, a somewhat geeky answer, but if you really want to be geeked-out, then a reading of 'Biologically Active Compounds in Mustard Seeds: A Toxicological Perspective' (and similar academic works) most likely will leave you dumbfounded.
