Is it at all possible to buy Mustard powder here? We have looked about and there seems to be none only small bottles. Cheers Di
Ahhh!! Finally a subject that I can get my teeth into. Thanks for the question. You will find plenty of what I call "Yellow sh*t", especially that food colouring which USians insist on smearing on imitation sausages, aptly called mouse-turd. Real, powdered mustard IS available, not universally and at a price. When you find some, don't go overboard in purchasing large quantities of it as it does NOT keep well, even in sealed containers in this climate. Cans of Colman's powdered mustard are sometimes available in Cebu at the Ayala Center - not far from where I am writing this now. Buy only the smaller can. An even better idea is the McCormack small jars (about half the price per unit weight). These are located in the spice rack - but not universally. I think I found some at Robinson's in Dumaguete. I have a separate covered bowl in which my mustard is prepared. New goes onto old and it all sorts of hangs out together in my fridge. The mixing liquid is important and individual preference prevails. I use the surplus brine from dill pickles. Our helper is amused at retaining it for me. Good luck in your quest. Enjoy!
I shipped Guldens Spicy Brown Mustard over in one of my balikbayan boxes, but that doesn't help you. :D
On the Hunt for it !! I have looked in Robinsons but could not find the powder only readymade small bottles. I thought i saw some in Yan Yans, but when i went in again couldnt find it my hubby thinks i was dreaming wishfull thinking !!! Like in the thread you should buy and store in the fridge same as with spices. Cheers Di
Ah David ..I knew your ears would perk up when you saw "MUSTARD."..... In Cebu,in Rustans,in basement of Ayala, you can find a pretty good American style mustard.. 907 grams,or 2 pounds,or 32 oz, for less than 100 pesos..Look for the big yellow plastic container ,,duh... Miguel
David looks like you have a few friends who know you love the stuff. I am the same my Welsh rabbit doesnt taste right without it !! And forget having a hot dog ketchup does not cut the musta for me ( pardon the pun ) I only have a tiny tin of powder from Thailand which i am treasuring, there is no probs buying it there wish i had brought some. Cheers Di:(:(
Fortune Mart! When I was trying to find Brown sauce (HP) Pickled Beetroot and pickled onions, I found them quite by Chance in Fortune Mart up a little from lee Plaza. Jack P.
Humidity! I am told Tom! that the humidity is too much to grow the Mustard Plant. I am no Gardener so I do not know. I just heard it said. I am like a few others, NOT a mustard fan. :( Jack P.
