Yepper. Yellow powdered mustard. Colman's is available at almost any grocery on the spice rack ... which is why I mentioned it in the recipe. I use Tone's because they put i up in big (24 oz) containers. I only ever mix vinegar with it if I want to mitigate the heat ... as the acid in the vinegar lessens the burn of the mustard. > The hottest chile doesn't compare to the freshest, hottest horseradish > I've had. But, your right about the different burn between the two. > Yaaaahhhhooowwweeeee!!! I find that the horseradish burn dies off a lot quicker than the capsaicin burn from chilies. And I have never had Hunan Hand from horseradish. I like 'em all. Each has its place ... according to individual taste. -- ENJOY!!!
