Seattle dog (cream cheese, grilled onions, jalapenos, black pepper on a pretzel bun. I skip the mustard.)

Okay, now I am curious. What do you call mustard and what do you call mustard sauce?
Mustard sauce in Australia is the squeezy bottle stuff. Comes in the same sort of bottle as tomato sauce and ketchup.

Mustard is more like traditional mustards. Hot English, Dijon, American (which is a seeded mustard), etc. Gets used at BBQs, often in a squeezy bottle.

Comes in a jar, useva knife or similar to get it out.
Much like horseradish.

If course, there is no hard line. You can get squeezy bottles of everything now. Just what we used to refer to them as.

I had to look up the ingredients of the two. The latter sounds more saucy to me. The first is mostly water and vinegar and mustard. the latter is water, and mustard with a bit of fat. It probably has more mustard in it than the former.

On a related note has anyone besides me found that you cannot buy bottled Chinese hot mustard like you get in Chinese restaurants? It turns out that you cannot buy that. It is a very complicated recipe. You need a mustard like this:

To make your own mustard takes lots of work You need two teaspoons of mustard mixed with three teaspoons of water. Let it sit a few minutes and it is done. Whew!

Okay, it is dead easy. If you have left overs there will not be as much heat tomorrow. So just make as much as you need. A can like that costs five or six bucks and makes about one and a half times its volume in Chinese mustard. Once you get that stuff you won't go back to anything premade.

I'm gonna hard pass on the powdered mustard.
I live on the north-eastern edge of Melbourne, and there's all sorts of cool produce available from local producers directly.

Somewhere like this...stocked up a bunch of times from these guys

Ok, i know I'm awkward but none of the hotdog sausage stuff for me. How about Toulouse or Cumberland sausage on a bun with onion and a touch of whole grain mustard.

We've the same stuff, we just don't commonly call it sauce. Jarred stuff tends to be better.

It's even better if you grind your own mustard seeds! It takes all of 5 seconds in an electric coffee grinder.

Yellow or black? I have some black mustard seeds for Indian recipes. And yellow seeds are available everywhere.

In the US at least it is a standard when one goes to Chinese restaurants. If one orders barbecued pork as an appetizer, which is served cold, it comes with sesame seeds and that sort of mustard. I will have to give the whole seed mustard a shot, but for hotdogs a mustard made from powdered mustard is de reguere.
