Fri Apr 17, 2015, 09:40 AM
Apr 2015

On Fri Apr 17, 2015, 07:35 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

I don't hate mustard. I have a lot of friends who use mustard.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6520400

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Anti-mustard bigotry. He even has "friends" that use mustard. This is a classic way to cover up for anti-mustard hatred.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Apr 17, 2015, 07:39 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Haha, funny.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh my God, this was alerted? How about banning the hyper-sensitive nanny cop who alerted?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Mustardism, while yellow, is not a hideable offense. I personally loathe mayonnaise anyway. Which way did I vote? I don't remember, but I'm sure I'm right.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I believe there is no such thing as a wrong choice in condiments.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Frivolous, stupid and unnecessary alert. What a waste of my time.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

A favorite childhood memory of mine is both ketchup and mustard on a hot dog. What is it about ketchup that ticks people off?

Ironically, I consider myself a mustard freak (Nathan's Coney Island mustard ) and slather it on like crazy on bagels, but for hot dogs, I slightly prefer ketchup. People generally use tomato-y, slightly sweet sauces on meats. Hot dogs are the exception because?

But the way I heard it explained is that catchup on hotdogs is OK when you are a child but when you grow up it is musterd.

But honestly I don't eat hot dogs because they are full of crap...that was not always the case though.
But this thread was just having a little fun and a parade of other threads here on DU.

I may not have ever had real mayo until I left home and discovered it on my own. Then, life as I knew it changed completely.

Here in France their mayo often comes adulterated with lemon or mustard and that always tastes just nasty. I like a nice oil and egg mayo please, pure and simple. Nice fluffy baguette, loads of mayo, loads of ham and cheese, lettuce and tomato, nothing like it.

Except a proper BLT of course. nomnomnomnomnomnom.....

All I know is County Cork, where my grandmother and my aunt were from. But they must have lived on the coast, because their father was First Mate on a steamer that plied the British Isles. They migrated here through Canada in 1900.

Cork has the second greatest concentration of people with my family name -- just after Wexford. My Irish great grandparents emigrated as teenagers with their families in 1853 and came to what then was rural northeast Illinois. My great grandfather took the long way around, sailing around the Horn to California where he spent time with a cousin in the California gold fields. My ancestor eventually came to Illinois, traveling overland. The cousin had hit it rich, though. He returned to Ireland and bought three farms.

I don't know where my other Irish grandparents and great grandparents were from. But they ended up in Chicago, where from my grandparents' back porch in the Bridgeport Irish neighbothood I could see the back of Mayor Daley's house when I was a kid there.

Picking blueberries there and filling our little pails.

And when we returned home and my Irish grandmother from County Cork took me for a walk around the block, she had to sternly remind me that peeing on the trees at the lake was one thing, but I had to stop peeing on the trees in the neighborhood.

Sometimes a hard lesson.

We used to go to Crystal Lake in McHenry County. Back then, it was a sleepy town. Today it's a suburb with lots of housing and strip malls. The lake is pretty much the same, except some of the great old houses are being replaced with hulking McMansions.

168. I hated store-bought mayonnaise until I tasted Kewpie mayo.
Sat Apr 18, 2015, 03:39 AM
Apr 2015

American mayo tastes too eggy to me. Kewpie is tangy but mild (I guess because rice vinegar isn't as strong as other vinegars) and the texture is silkier and smoother. I prefer the low calorie version because there's even less of an egg flavor. Kewpie mixed with wasabi is addictive.

because I grew up eating things with Miracle Whip. Once I discovered the difference, I was hooked. Tuna salad is now a staple and I mix mayo with dijon for dipping.

but I've yet to try that brand.

(The original plain Vegenaise tastes like chalk gelatin, and it gets watery and disappears when you make cabbage/apple/raisin coleslaw with it.)

I'll say nice things about mustard. And not the grey poupon type either.

I want mine yellow so I can slather it on a hot dog so that it holds the onions down. Never had sauerkraut, but the next time I eat a hot dog, it will be sitting side by side with my friend mustard.

I'm not sure why I trolled this thread - I really don't like mayonnaise except on a chicken sandwich with a bunch of pickles.

OMG - I trolled on DU

I think an umbrella condiments group would be fine.

I mean, after all, in the Reading group, they have fiction and non-fiction. Breaking it down further seems a bit redundant, maybe even selfish. Even Offbeat has only three.

So, do I hear it for Condiments?
