What goes with Mustard?
Prepared mustard combines ground or whole Brassica seeds with water and usually vinegar, salt and spices. Seed glucosinolates and the enzyme myrosinase generate pungent isothiocyanates when hydrated; acidity stabilises the condiment while moderating enzymatic development.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Mustard?
Mustard cuts fat with acidity and pungency, reinforces savoury meat and fish, and forms stable bridges to cream, egg and mayonnaise. Fruit, beetroot, cabbage and honey temper its bitterness while retaining aromatic definition.
