“Mustard Girl Stoneground Deli”
Jake Woodford and Greg Griffin for GG Mustard Review
A delicious mustard with a great story….
Jennifer Connor, a Wisconsin native and UW Madison alumna, acquired the recipes for her now-famous “Mustard Girl” line from an artisan mustard maker in Madison, WI and now carries on the proud tradition. After just one taste, it’s clear that the base recipe for this mustard is a good one. Tangy (due in large part to the citric acid and vinegar) and mild on the front end, this mustard will offer a sweet and delicious addition to many German sausages—any hint of spice is short-lived but the almost smoky quality in the finish is a welcome surprise. Mustard Girl’s Stoneground Deli is a dynamic mustard that transitions easily across the palate without overpowering the food. Enjoy this mustard freely, without fear of anything unexpected, and let Mustard Girl “spread a little sunshine your way!” For more information on Mustard Girl Mustards, visit http://www.mustardgirl.com/history.htm.

“Silver Spring Beer’n Brat Mustard”
Jake Woodford and Greg Griffin for GG Mustard Review
A mustard bold to pair up raw onions but restrained enough to allow the flavor of the brat to come through
Silver Spring Foods has its roots, literally, in the mustard business dating back more than 75 years. The secret to this “addictively spicy” blend of mustard is the fresh horseradish (still grown by the Huntsinger family in Eau Claire, WI). When you first put this mustard on your brat you quickly notice the strong scent of fresh horseradish, almost enough to make your eyes water. Definitely a mustard you will want to use in moderation in the beginning although its addictive qualities will have you coming back for more. It is clear to see why this mustard is a four-time Napa Valley Mustard Festival Gold Medal Winner.
Suggested Serving: Jacob’s Pork Brat and a Simple Simon bun
Price ($ Bargain – $$$$ Luxury): $$
Kick (1 Mild – 10 Fiery): 6
Texture: Semi-Smooth
Flavor (1 Subtle – 10 Powerful): 8

“El Diablo Hot and Spicy Mustard: Mango”
A mustard with serious kick from south of the border—the Illinois/Wisconsin border that is…
Mustard upstart Mizkan Americas, Inc. brings the heat with its new “El Diablo” line of condiments. Lulling you into a false sense of security, this mustard opens with a delicious blast of sweet and smooth mango flavor, but look out! You are quickly hit with a wave of pleasant but intense heat driven by El Diablo’s proprietary blend of peppers and spices that lingers long after the bite is gone. El Diablo “Mango” lives up to the condiment line’s slogan: “The mustard that screams back.” The sweetness of El Diablo is slowly replaced by the heat, and you are left longing for another bite. We recommend testing this mustard out before jumping in with both feet because this mustard is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking to add a kick to your lunch hour, this one’s for you!
Suggested Serving: Jacob’s hot dog and Simple Simon bun
Price ($ Bargain – $$$$ Luxury): $$$
Kick (1 Mild – 10 Fiery): 7.5
Texture: Smooth
Flavor (1 Subtle – 10 Powerful): 7
