What is stoneground mustard?

Question

Does it mean I need to get mustard seeds and grind it in a mortar or can it be store bought?

Is Dijon mustard any close to be a substitute?

Answer 1

Stone ground mustard is a condiment produced by grinding brown mustard seeds with a stone mill to provide a coarse textured food spread. Typically spicy, Stone Ground Mustard is a popular topping for sandwich meats and cheeses as well as a variety of sausages. As a condiment, it goes well on hearty dark breads, aged cheeses with a depth of flavor, and many different dry sausages.

It is readily available at stores or delicatessens.

Grain mustard is probably closer to stone ground rather than Dijon. There are varieties of Dijon that is courser ground that you can use.

Answer 2

I seem to remember Gulden's being a little more kicky and unique than now. I was a little disappointed, because it was always spicy without being what everyone else was putting out (spicy dijon). Yummy stuff from the past, though!
