    WTF can't I buy a mustard pot anymore?
    You know a little (Usually yellow) one with a lid and a small spoon.

    I've tried every supermarket, cook shop, and department store ending with a long chat to a nice lady in John Lewis on Sunday who confirmed that, no, they don't stock them anymore. AND, she says, she's had 3 enquiries for them recently. So I'm not the only one.

    (apparently Colemans sell one for £16. Madness)

    It's insane I tell you. What's happening to this country? I dispair….

    Searching "mustard pot" & "mustard jar" on eBay throws up a few.

    Tick!

    It comes in a jar. If you have guests, you don't put jars on the table. Manners Timothy!
    And we buy powdered mustard, which you mix up. I'm currently using an egg cup and a teaspoon. Not pretty.

    Oh, I freely admit this is a silly, petty thing. But I just thought "I'll get a mustard pot" and it's become a mission to find one, it's just crazy!

    Thanks CaptF. You are indeed correct, that is proper mustard. English Mustard. For beef.
    We get powdered because we use it in recipes.

    Rich, yes I've seen them on EvilBay, and that's fine. But why don't shops sell them? 😉

    Other forms of mustard are available.

    If you have guests, you don't put jars on the table

    At this level of faux-politeness, my give-a-shite-ometer barely registers.

    Besides, wholegrain is way better in mash, and horseradish is way better with beef … 😉

    But I only use one at the table.

    It registers enough to try (On a blatently tonnge-in-cheek thread) and sound clever though, yes? 8)

    I make no apologies for being a bit twee and old fashioned any more. If we have guests, out come the posh plates & cutlery, the top notch home cooked food and we make a meal (haha!) of it!

    ADH – Horseradish?? on BEEF? HORSERADISH??? Be gone with you, heathen!

    PeterP, a little smattering of Horserubbish goes down a treat with roast beef. Approved.

    Dammit, now I want a mustard pot! PeterP, keep us updated!

    Although I'm confused about the horseradish – goes down a treat on roast beef no? Also Smoked salmon, but I digress.
