Mind you, really good hot mustard still tastes very much like mustard --
even the Chinese stuff, which has more heat and less taste than others
(IMNSHO). Heat without flavour is pointless, only good for machismo
contests. If you really want to make good hot mustard, get a well-known
brand of dry mustard powder (I use Keen's, simply 'cause it's available,
although I'm sure there's tastier stuff out there) and mix it up according
to the package directions. For variations, use white wine, beer, mead or
vinegar for the liquid. Then let it sit for a while, and taste *very*
carefully... Ahhhhh, that's good...
