I like hot mustard on the side.

I use Colman's Dry Mustard

Just add a little water till it is the consistency you like.

Hot Mustard with a twist.

2 1/2 tablespoons Colman's Mustard Powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon very hot water

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon honey

Mix the mustard powder, onion powder and salt in a small bowl.  Add the hot water and stir till well mixed.  Add the rice vinegar and stir well.  Stir in the honey.  Let stand at least 15 minutes up to 2 hours.  The heat will mellow the longer it stands.
