@Dunstable The whole, butter on a ham sandwich was a culinary assault my 17 year old self was not prepared for. @Thebratdragon @RickiTarr
@Pineywoozle @Dunstable @RickiTarr you don't butter your bread? How do you stop the sandwich being dry?
@Thebratdragon LoL Mayo and a good French mustard I just saw a pic of Starmer & Macron in a jeep so I know it’s OK. @Dunstable @RickiTarr
@Pineywoozle @Dunstable @RickiTarr french mustard is ok, prefer English, but mayo? To me that goes on lettuce or chicken, not ham.
A really good ham sandwich is bread, butter, ham (honey roast for me), english mustard, Cheddar cheese, butter and bread.
@Thebratdragon A good Mayo like Dukes or a Belgian one with mustard is great on ham. You should try it. LoL the ham is a soft low note & the Mayo and mustard are both sharp/acidic & creamy. It actually adds almost the same note a good cheddar does just a little sharper. @Dunstable @RickiTarr
@Pineywoozle @Thebratdragon @Dunstable I now have honey butter rolls in the oven because you all keep making me hungry
@RickiTarr LoL Sounds nummy. I’m about to have a bowl of thick homemade potato soup. I made it yesterday day so the flavors have reached their peak. Enjoy your rolls!
@Thebratdragon @Dunstable
@Pineywoozle @Dunstable @RickiTarr
Ahh but colmans english mustard is a different breed of mustard. So we get creamy from the butter, sharp from the cheese and spice in the mustard.
@Thebratdragon @Pineywoozle @Dunstable No one is even talking about German mustard lol
@RickiTarr @Pineywoozle @Dunstable no but I was noting what flavour sets go together. See also horseradish etc in the list.
@RickiTarr @Thebratdragon @Pineywoozle @Dunstable that's because there is a northern and a southern version of mustard over here and we've been waging a war for centuries over which one is the true German™ mustard.
(southern is dark, sweet and grainy; northern is sharp, tangy and creamy)
@megaphon @RickiTarr @Pineywoozle @Dunstable I only know the Northern version.
I also like good wholegrain mustards, especially scott8sh ones with whiskey.
@Thebratdragon That sounds nummy! @megaphon @RickiTarr @Dunstable
@Thebratdragon @megaphon @Pineywoozle @Dunstable Now I need to make Scotch Mustard
@RickiTarr Seriously lol that sounds good. @Thebratdragon @megaphon @Dunstable
@Pineywoozle @RickiTarr @megaphon @Dunstable it adds a peaty smokey note.
@Thebratdragon Def sounds lovely. @RickiTarr @megaphon @Dunstable
@Pineywoozle @RickiTarr @Thebratdragon @megaphon @Dunstable That sound you hear is half of Mastodon running to their shelves for the scotch and mustard seeds.
@dan613 It def seems like a nummy combo. I’d totally be with them if I wasn’t already up to my ears weaving new shoes & carving new dinner plates. @RickiTarr @Thebratdragon @megaphon @Dunstable
@RickiTarr “Don’t mention the war!” LOL @Thebratdragon @Dunstable
@Thebratdragon LoL you should try it some time. It’s a very similar flavor profile but it feels lighter & less oily. You aren’t left with the lovely but to me wholly unnecessary butter mouthfeel, after each bite. @Dunstable @RickiTarr
@Pineywoozle @Dunstable @RickiTarr probably too much butter then. The only time butter should be thick is on thick hot toast.
@Thebratdragon LoL probably. It was at a lay-by on our way from London to Edinburgh. We had Eurail passes for the continent but hitched all over GB for a month on that first trip. Got a ride from Jackie Stewart of all people, when we were leaving E for Glasgow. @Dunstable @RickiTarr
