What do you do with mustard which remains at the bottom of the plastic bottle and refuses to be squeezed out???

Put a splash of very hot water in it and swirl it around and walla, more Polish mustard.
Let the small children use it up on their hotdogs as they won't know the difference.

I like this jalapeno mustard with a tang to it.

Sorry, I dilute paint with some thinner in this manner you advise but doing it to mustard would be sacrilege. Forget it.

Kids and drunks don't know the difference.

I am neither so I can`t use your advice. In my family I am the only one who devours mustard for the taste benefit. .

The lifespan of mustard differs from one variety to another, and some will only last for a few months while others can last for more than two years.

All ready made mustard has a relatively short lifespan. The 'kick' (and the flavour) goes very quickly. That's one reason (perhaps the main one) that people in Britain tend to favour making it freshly as in the photo in post 35.

Not so much sacrilege as normal. Mustard is essentially a type of flour and hot water makes the grains swell, You can also use (mild) vinegar.

I wouldn't call two years a short life span.
I will agree that fresh homemade mustard has the best flavor.

I'd guess that after a few months or even weeks it's not as fresh as when the jar was first opened. And it probably contains preservatives which fresh mustard doesn't.

For a mustard lover it is.

No. I asked my wife and she reminded me of a traditional Polish way of scraping food from the bottom of containers. What, namely?
With Polish bread, of course.

Yesterday, seeing me happily scooping Jerusalem mustard from the jar with my finger, she reminded me of chilli mustard remaining unattended in the fridge for a long time. Yes, I tried it a few months ago and left on the shelf for better times.

I would guess that it would stay fresher than most things once opened because of the ingredients.
And it probably contains preservatives which fresh mustard doesn't.

Well probably it doesn't contain any preservatives beside natural ones.
Mustard ingredients are: Distilled vinegar, water, #1 grade mustard seed, salt, turmeric, paprika, spice and garlic powder.

You should get your ass kicked for this. Don't have a spoon?

Pawian can get away with it as he is a self admitted man child.
Now for you Europeans that want all the answers about mustard, I found you a ten minute read that should answer all your questions.
