My name is Max and I'm a Disco junkie. I'm the very proud owner of a 98 Disco that has been taken over by my wife and kids. I long for the day it will be mine again (perhaps after the children are graduated). However that is not why I write today. My wife insists that mustard is bad for you. She says it's full of sodium. How can something so pure that it's a food group unto itself be bad? When I agued with her she suggested I post a question on that "silly website" I visit. So here I am. Help me prove her wrong, not only about the mustard but that this is not a silly website. No actual proof is needed just agree with me. Thanks, Max

Max, this is the wrong approach. Agree with her about the mustard, sidle up to her sweetly, and slip the Disco keys out of her purse before she notices. VOILA! La Disco is now YOURS!

As for this "silly site", well, THAT is truly offensive! I mean, REALLY!



Karen, hope this helps! LOL....

It does have about 60MG of sodium. But unless you are drinking it there should not be a problem. Other than sodium it is fat,Carbohydrate, and calorie free. It is by far the best of the popular condiments! Of course since your wife and kids took the Disco why do you care about your health? I simply bought my wife a lovely Suburban so I could get her Discovery!

Max: Do the following items in order.
1) Agree that the Mustard is bad for you.
2) Notice that the Mustard is bad for her and the kids as well.
3) Get the Mustard and smeer it all over the inside of the Disco.
4) For the safety of your family: Take over the daily operation of the Disco. It is a sacrifice, but you are the one who is likely to die anyhow. Just make sure that the wife knows that you love and respect her, and are more than willing to make this sacrifice for her.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but yes mustard is bad for ya'. Mustard and black pepper are two foods your body doesn't digest, hence they eat your stomach lining. Having suffered through stomach ulcers I've learned about all the things you shouldn't eat - having been born and raised in New Orleans I simply don't care and continue to eat them anyway!

Enjoy a hot dog with plenty of MUSTARD for Labor Day!

If you find yourself camping and taking really long hikes that creates those nasty blisters, your mustard can come in handy. Smear the mustard over the blisters, it will actually help.

Believe it or not.

I think Bill's advice is the most tempting but, I allways wanted a series rover. Keep giving more feedback till I hear what I want.
Thanks

Mustard seed itself isn't giving you the sodium. I looked at the 4 jars of mustard we have, from your standard French's yellow Costco sized bottle, to some fancy stuff, like Sierra Nevada and some other garlic mustard, and the common thing I found was salt was listed right after mustard seed in EVERY case.
So if you can make up some mustard yourself and not use salt and still have it taste good, market it. :)
