Mustard
A condiment used to flavour foods such as meat, chicken or fish, and also in salad dressings. There are several varieties: American (or yellow) mustard is mild, made from white mustard seeds while Dijon mustard is made from brown mustard seeds, and has a creamier texture. All mustard is made in a similar way. The seed is crushed, and a liquid such as water, wine, vinegar or a combination of these is added, as well as seasonings.
