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".
Their job being, of course, to guess the more expensive mustard between the 2
Because they're being put on the spot on camera lmao
@@axemenace6637 This guy earn his life judging mustard quality
@@n0ledge Execution due to a failed mustard judgement seems a bit harsh
It’s very difficult to tell mass production from artisan ..............................
Me: I don't understand why I'm always tired!
Also me at 3 am: Mustard taste tests.
Tim Huxta I feel attacked
This me but its 4:17am lol
@G ok lol
Tim Huxta I see myself in this post and I don’t like it
@G So did you fall asleep?
No mustard stains on his shirt after the video, i believe he is most certainly a mustard expert.
Can we appreciate the absolute savagery of the line "this one smells completely different. It smells like mustard."
My favorite part of this video is when he tasted the mustard and said “tastes like mustard.”
Same 😂
That's me tasting wine.

Hey Harley
The funniest part for me is “mustard expert “!
Mustard Expert: This mustard is amazing
Me: Ok sounds good
Mustard Expert: So amazing I'd eat it on ice cream
Me: Wait hold up
Somebody needs to set him up with the woman who puts ketchup on her French toast.
@@Mochila03 😂
I feel like I need to try this now. Maybe that's what my life was missing all this time.
French's actually came out with a mustard ice cream, I don't know if its a prank though, I'm down to try it
He must be related to the ketchup girl from those "three levels of chef" videos.
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.
He is the No 1. mustard guy in North America, being the brand ambassador for Maille/Unilever
This is an uncharacteristically polite youtube comment
You have used proper punctuation/grammar/capitalization in this comment. I’m sorry, UA-cam is the wrong place for that. 😆
Yeah I agree, this dude is THE MAN
This is a lovely comment.
“This smells like mustard” damn he really is an expert
I love that meme lol
How can I get this job?
Can we get a Water Expert in? I’m not feeling tap water anymore
Still water, tonic water, seltzer water, still mineral, natural carbonated mineral.
Look up water sommelier and find martin
NYC tap water is considered to taste better than most bottled waters. So it really just depends where ya are
xD
Destilled Water FTW 👌
So the condiment expert wasn't enough. We specifically must have mustard on it's own. Mustard is it's own sauce.
#Mustardindependence2K19
Ofcourse, it's a must!
It's a must(ard)
Mustard is the superior condiment. I said what i said.
actually mustard is not a sauce its a condiment
@@PureInsanity lol
Mom: "have you decided what you want to be when you grow up son?"
Me: "an astronaut"
20 years later, job title: Mustard expert
Mom : "what are you doing". Me: "watching some guy on youtube eat mustard"
UA-cam comments don't always make me laugh. But sometimes they do😆
I love that he made a point to say brown mustard B is more expensive than A but he prefers A.
Doesn't need to be expensive to be delicious!
A looked like Gulden's, and the stuff is perfect.
@@ElGeFe I said that as soon as it slid into frame. "👈 That's Gulden's."
Scripted?
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.
Did I miss where he tells you what the mustards actually are??
"This smells like mustard" 4:57
He is truly an expert
He had me from "all mustards have a place."
“I’d put it on my ice-cream”
Woah woah woah, hold on there buddy-let’s not get carried away.
Yeah wtf
It sounds good, that nice popping sensation. I mean, the man is a mustard-lover.
@hawkturkey lmfao
I put hot sauce on my ice cream
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(!).
he would eat mustard on icecream ,, he needs to collab with ketchup girl
a match made in heaven!
That one girl that put ketchup on her french toast?
is emily the ketchup girl?

4:57 "this smells like mustard"
He's not wrong
Lol he was referring to the mustard seeds as opposed to any vinegar or spices that may have been in it
LOL!!!
Out if context it sound weird but in context yeah...
r/Technicallyright
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.
Also it's amazing how he can isolate flavors,
"Mustard Expert"
Everything teachers ever told me about life was a lie.
Never thought I’d see the day where I watch a man guess which mustard is more expensive...but here we are 😌
😂 Right...
HAHA I was thinking the same 😂 hilarious!
You and me both Aoife.
Welcome to the 21st century, baby 😎
How do you pronounce your name?
Wow that chalkboard art looks amazing! Fantastic job as always by Ro!
LindaJenkinsFlute thank you so much!
Agreed
There's a nice video about the chalk art on the channel somewhere.
4:56 “this smells like mustard”. Favourite part of the whole thing
Mustard is an actual ingredient in the condiment…
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!"
Who else got anxious when the mustard looked like it was about to spill out as he was swirling it about?

I thought i was the only one

Hmm maybe they do it on purpose for some odd reason? Tester can't really stir it around and demonstrate viscosity...

Again: GIVE US THESE BACKDROPS AS POSTERS WE CAN BUY !!!!
PREACH
For real, they’d all be beautiful in a kitchen
Everyone of them except Yogurt as that looks more like Vomit.
Nah, need them as cards that you can use to label your shelves
Yessss
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.
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 🙌
**DEEP inhale**
"This smells like mustard"
This guy looks exactly like what I thought a “Mustard Expert” would look like
These experts always look at way. Especially look at whisky, ice cream and beer
Hell yeah that was my exact thought, it was either Mustard Expert or Dipping Sauce Expert.
@Justin Valentine Got em
He looks like Ben Roethlisberger, but he became an alcoholic in his late 20's.
Best pick up line ever: "Hi. I'm [insert name], and I'm a mustard expert".
“What do you do for a living?”
Brandon: “Mustard.”
No effort. Not funny.
No effort. Still funny.
No honey mustard? It’s literally on the sign behind him!
BITE THE BILLET they probably cut it for some reason. Maybe he hated it lol
@@madock345
>mustard expert
>hates mustard
Honey mustard is what McDonald's gives you when you say you want honey with your McNuggets. It's literally not mustard.
And dry mustard was on there
That's because the person who makes the sign is the true expert of everything artistic and culinary. These other ones are all just like mini bosses
He honestly looks like a mustard expert
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.
I literally watched 3 seconds and thought the exact same thing!
@@plainpawesome I bet half of your conversations involve The Office.
dude just looks like a mustard expert
Honestly this is my first time hearing about whole grain mustard and it looks like it’s be killer on a reuben
Oh my god, it is. So damn good.
@@chantelguinn7517 agreed, my favorite mustard (I really like mustard)
It's not that spreadable, it's more of like something you'd spread on a cracker with cheese on it.
The way they overfilled the jars stressed me out, esp when he was going in with the spoon and it would bulge.... Ugh
heh.. "bulge"
Hah, I was thinking the same thing this entire video. Still love his explanations though
He is probably the cutest person I’ve ever seen I just wanna put him in my pocket
Have you ever watched the USA version of The Office? Kevin the accountant 😉
Are we not going to talk about how in the background music it sounds like Jason is about to kill you..
Lmao this comment made me chuckle
GRIMMdark
‘Lmao’ but the comment only ‘made you chuckle?’
WHICH IS IT? I NOW HAVE TO KNOW.
can we get: Sean Evans tries different types of Hot Sauce
All these experts be looking like their items. Casting on point
You won’t find a bottle of ketchup in my house, but our fridge does have 5 different types of mustard. It’s like liquid gold at my house, we love it 😍
as you should!!!
wise choice. ketchup is ew gross.
Renee Nene I have 1 ketchup and 4 different mustards.
Same! I have never purchased a single bottle of ketchup my entire life however I do have five mustards at any given time.
how do people hate ketchup, its like mustards brother they belong together on hotdogs and hamburgers
everyone: "the part where he says it smells like mustard"
me: i wonder if he hates ketchup
Interviewer: So yeah, what do you do?
Him: *I'm a mustard expert*
Teacher: "Ok kids if you could be whatever you want, what would you be?"

LOL I was literally thinking this right when I read the title. Or even funnier:
Me: Mom I got an amazing job today!
Mom: OH really? Helping the poor? Feeding the homeless? Helping kids? Saving animals?
Me: Nope! I'm a mustard expert MOM!!!
Mom: *weird look* uh. Um. Okay. I guess.
How epicurious finds these experts I will never know
Matthew Pierson I was thinking the same thing
It helps to be in NYC where you have artisinal makers of stuff as well as food companies.
most of these people own huge companies. I assume this guy owns a mustard company or something similar
Craigslist
Google "Recreational Mustard Sniffers who have gone professional"
at 6:10 when he said "i could sit here and eat this whole thing" i rly felt that
it's got the salt
it's got the sweet
but most importantly it's got the heat
"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"
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 ;-)
I was hoping for some english mustard
marsjacobvolta it really depends for me. Sometimes I want a condiment for a hot dog and guns just work well for me. Real hard to chew and swallow. 😂
marsjacobvolta This is the most cringeworthy thing I’ve ever seen. You make me embarrassed to be an American.
Colemans mustard is divine.
“It smells like mustard” You didn’t have to cut me off!
6:11 Outstanding Kevin from the Office imitation !
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.
If ya'll need an expert for pizza rolls, I'm your man
“This smells like mustard”😂
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
I have no idea what a mustard expert looks like, but this guy is visually a mustard expert
I have noticed that all the experts on this series really look like the expert you would expect on that subject. Especially the ice cream lady.
“This smells like mustard.”
Not often that I LOL because of a comment.
I love how un-snobbish he is about it. He thinks that even cheap yellow mustard has its place.
Price point is literally my favorite UA-cam series... I get so excited everytime I see there is a new one.
Waiting for the mustard to spill out of the glass.
Anxiety: 100
Check out spice guy! Very liberating:))
"I would definitely eat this on ice cream" ...I'm just imagining this guy on a first date when the dessert course comes around! haha!
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
The clap samples in the backing track were driving me crazy the whole time
Literally ,the experts always right about the price
I think the bacon guy got turkey bacon wrong
You're right.I'm kind of surprise
Being a mustard taster is the stuff of my nightmares. But I like this guy, and someone's got to do it!
Mustard is delish

"This smells like mustard."
Hmm, yes. The floor here is made out of floor.
Teacher: What do you want to be when you grow up?
"Mustard expert"
I was waiting for English mustard right till the end :(
I was waiting for Bavarian sweet mustard. But I guess it's too niche for Americans.
@@Rhaifha It is pretty niche. The most common mustards in the US are yellow, spicy brown, and dijon.
I thought they would do a honey mustard since its pretty popular here
@@Rhaifha Sounds delicious.
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.
I’ve made the wrong choices in life.
I've only been eating the "B" whole mustard sauce. Didn't know I was missing such an "experience" found in the "A" mustard 🤷♂️
You know what, I want more mustard expert.
But then again I guess I honestly want more from all of them.

also i love how much passion all of these experts have about their specific food. its very cool and ultimately makes me appreciate these foods, and the processes and thought put behind them, more.
6:43 that A-side whole-grain mustard looks like someone's washing rye berries in preparation to grow a batch of magic mushrooms lmao.
Niche comment. Whatever. It's true.
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!
Sarah Perkins what :O what brand is it??
It’s a Walmart’s brand actually. Great value brand.
Loved this mustard shoot-out :) Good job!!! I learned a thing or two as well 👍
What a great video. Thanks for the knowledge
Now that he's been injured, Ben Rothlisberger has found his new calling.
I love everything about this comment 😂
Not even a mustard fan but this was awesome to watch. Please do a honey expert next! :)
Let's put mustard expert guy up against condiment expert guy, and they have to actually guess the price.
No they have to guess as close as possible without going over
Bro look exactly what I think a mustard expert look like
Awesome, as always! Would have loved to see his opinion on sweet mustards though.

-Brandon Collins the mustard expert 2019
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!
Me to a friend: Oh you just had a kid? nice!
Friend: What have you been up to?
Me: Do you know mustard?
"So amazing that I'd even eat it on ice cream." haha I love this guy. He was definitely not even half-joking.
I watch a Korean cooking Instagram and they always use that whole grain mustard in their dishes and I never knew what it was! (Couldn't read the caption, it was in Korean too) I'm glad to learn what that weird stuff was!
The video is awesome and all but does anyone else hear the echoes of the infamous Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th
This was far more sophisticated and interesting than I expected.
This dude looks exactly what I would have thought a mustard expert would look like.
He looks like Kevin from The Office.
Sick video bro. But think you should do a fish expert or something with the sea.... cool. Much love.

4:56 "this smells like mustard" 😂
Shes back! This chalk art has more creativity, life, and spunk than the last 2. I love it. Welcome back?!?!
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.
Yes, I confess I was holding out for hot English, just because it packs such a punch! Also a balsamic vinegar mustard would have been interesting.
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)!
This guy is pretty honest.. I like that!
This guy seems really awesome. I think I could watch him talk about mustard for ages.
