Polish mustards

I can`t resist. On our weekly Saturday shopping spree I bought myself a bottle of American mustard by Kamis and am trying it now, one gulp after another. Very good. Sweet and mild, just right before going to bed.

You don't eat mustard alone, but with something?

Alone. I am drinking it straight from the bottle, one gulp after another. I have already emptied half the bottle.
It is because my doctor strongly advised me to consume a lot of mustard.

You said you were a "pawian", but in this situation you are a hot dog. 🐕

Eww.

I find Polish mustard very bland like German mustard.

The one that used to be called Rosyjska and is now called Ukraińska is a decent medium one but still lacks kick.

No, it isn`t. Stop making silly things up, there are native Poles and Polesses here to correct your British bs about Poland.

Maybe, maybe not, but many of them will also tell you that they prefer Horseradish to Mustard......

And as for your British bs comment,Jon has lived in Poland long enough to be classified as semi Polish!

Look at the label on the jars of certain brands. Some say Ukraińska, some say Ostra (not that it's especially ostra). Things change.


At least one hasn't seen that some manufacturer have rebranded due to current circumstances.


Evidently some of us know things happening in Poland that you don't. That one's actually the only decent mustard on the market unless you go to Kuchnie Świata or occasionally Dealz to get Colman's. And even then, they've only got ready made rather than tins of powder.

Hard to know why Polish mustard in general is so bland and flavourless. Almost always ready made in jars too. Near useless for cooking with.Almost as bad as that stuff that Americans pretend is mustard.


One good thing in PL is how common horseradish root is in the shops. It's always better to make it from scratch.

I don't agree with this, this description fits German mustards better, which Polish mustards are based on, at least in terms of taste. But if I want to buy better (and more expensive) mustard in Germany, I buy mustard from the Polish company Roleski, which is sometimes available in Germany and simply tastes better than German mustards (of which Germans are very proud, e.g. Bautzener Senf).

I used to have a friend who was a German teacher and liked all things German. She used to buy something called 'Susser senf' (excuses for the spelling; it sounded like that when she said it) which I tried. It was supposed to be mustard yet tasted of nothing.


They do a decent Ukraińska (dawno Rosyjska) however the rest just don't appeal, especially Sarepska (though a bit of that works nicely in a cheese sauce and even works if you're making Glamorgan sausages). In small supermarkets, it's almost invariably Kamis that's on sale.

Oddly enough, there's a company in Silesia that makes English mustard for export. Sadly only ready made in jars which I don't like buying because it loses heat/flavour and goes off quickly.

I've never been a mustared connoissieur... Polish mustard is.... okay.... though I prefer sweeter rather than hotter mustards.

My favorite is Dijon (a type not a brand but...) and second favorite is called 'francuska' in Poland (with all the seeds).

American mustard is bright yellow and good for devilled eggs... and not much else.

We have something siimilar in the U.K. called Hot Dog Mustard which you only found on hot dog stands or at fairgrounds. I always liked it and it tastes nostalgic now.


Very useful as an emulsifier in cooking. Then again, so is mustard powder.

She was probably talking about sweet mustard, i.e. Süßer Senf.

She was. I found it unappealing. It might work with cooked meats although there are much better things to go with that.

You can use sugar in English mustard (some people do add a little while making it up) and probably honey too, though a tiny amount.

You can`t find it so coz there is no Polish mustard - there are various mustards produced in Poland. I named the thread Polish mustards for shortness. :):):)

I caught you again. :):):)


If he is semi, then I am antisemi. hahahaha


You are making things up again. No mustard sold in Poland is called Ukraińska.


Coz you are semi. hahaha

There's a shelf of it in every supermarket. It's just not very good.

Semi! :):):)


No, the shelves are full of mustards produced in Poland. But none of them is called Polish. You are seeing things which don`t exist.

I just saw a pic of tonight's England squad practising for the game and certainly got one....

Then stick to the game and don`t pollute the forum with your lies coz you are wasting everybody`s time. This thread is a serious discussion about mustards produced in Poland. Kneel down when you post here and stop lying about Ukrainian or others mustards.

Don`t be such a useless semi.

Indeed, and they are generally crap.

Crap is what you make up in this thread. Especially your Ukrainska mustard. hahahaha buhahahaha

That's very eloquent of you.

Just a shame that the mustard in the shops in PL is ready made and in jars.

@Korwinus
I tried that one and it was interesting but still very mild. Ukraińska has more of a kick.

I wrote it 2 years ago

Can you imagine I still see Russian style mustard in shops? Amasing.

There is a novelty which I have never seen before: Czech mustard.

Normal enough. Ready-made mustard is laden with artificial preservatives and has a long shelf life if unopened. It probably left the factory well before Putler launched his invasion.


I've seen that too but not tried it. I wonder what's different about it.

Nope, coz the change in labelling happened 2 years ago and nobody keeps mustard so long on the shelf. Maybe in Britain, but certainly not in Poland.

Do Brits like eating seasoned mustard??? Amasing!!! hahahaha

It is the conscious decision of the producer to keep this Russian label.

BTW, the American mustard I started the thread with has expiry date 08.02.2025


Nothing. Typical mustard.

Check the use by date of ready-made mustard.


Strange you should mention there, however if you're interested, mustard in the U.K. tends not to be ready made.


So basically marketing. If it sells the product, why not?

Because Old Polish is old while I meant fully Polish.
Mustards produced in Poland which could be called Polish are the ones with honey.. I like them for my fave sweet flavour. Each main producer has such mustard in their offer. Yummy!

Staropolska musztarda. It does not mean Old Polish, silly you. It means Traditional Polish Mustard.
But from Roleski I preferred Musztarda Angielska. It is no longer in the offer, sadly. The closest to it is Colman's mustard, but while sharp enough, it is way too sweet.

Not really. Old Polish means a product reminding of the old times, excluding modernity. Old Polish refers to many foods, ingredients or recipes which are long gone. E.g,, beaver or bear steaks. Or cow eyes.

We are living today in our times, not 250 years ago. We need fully Polish mustard.
