Mayo mixed with grain mustard - AIBU

TransplantedScouser · 09/01/2021 17:48

So I made DH beef sandwiches and out a mix of Mayo and grain mustard on them (3 parts Mayo to 1 part grain mustard)

He described them as food fo the devil and if he’d known I was going to poison him he’d have gone hungry

My mother didn’t fancy it but I implored her to try it - she did and agreed with him!

Am I weird? Are my tastebuds faulty?

Use Hellman's or other quality mayo.
The ratio is 4:1 not 3:1.
Good in potato salad, egg salad, and any meat sandwich - chicken, ham, roast beef.
You may need to replace your husband however.

It wasn’t Coleman’s or shop - was from a deli and it’s not vinegary

They are very wrong!

TransplantedScouser · 09/01/2021 19:09

And the Mayo was home made! My mum tested it with Helmand and the common one that is not shop own brand (can’t remember it)

Then they are heathens OP! Heathens without an epicurean bone in their bodies!

I'd be thrilled by your sandwich.

Mayotard is a staple in our house.

It's dijonaise, and it's lovely.

You used to be able to buy premixed dijonaise in a squeezy bottle in the supermarket, do t know if you still can...

Mayo is obscene so Yabu

AuntyPasta · 09/01/2021 19:32

Dijon with Mayo is lovely. Grain mustard with Mayo is wrong.

Furries · 09/01/2021 19:49

I wouldn’t use grainy mustard, but Dijon or English mustard with mayo is heavenly - yum, add in salt beef and sliced gherkins and you’ve got one of my favourite sandwiches. Or chicken, with strips of pre-cooked crispy bacon (M&S ones are good) with avocado - in a lightly toasted panini.

Maille do a really good jar of mustard mayo too.

They do a bloody gorgeous honey mustard one too.

Mayotard @MsRinky.

It shall henceforth be known as in this house.

SomewhatBored · 09/01/2021 19:58

Yanbu - I often do this. A bit of mustard in tuna or egg mayo on a jacket is good too.

StillGoingToWork · 09/01/2021 19:59

Mustard is the work of the devil. Envy (not envy) I like mayo though.

DingDongDenny · 09/01/2021 19:59

I also have this in a beef sandwich - with the additon of cherry tomatoes and sometimes cheese and onion crisps

TuxedoPantherSheHer · 09/01/2021 20:01

YABU if you don’t add a bit of marjoram into the mix. Otherwise, carry on.

TroysMammy · 09/01/2021 20:11

I've just remembered reading on MN, mix mayo with mango chutney and mix in tinned tuna. It was ok but I'm not a tinned tuna lover and even that couldn't make me change my mind.

WutheredOut · 09/01/2021 20:14

Add whole grain mustard to crème fraîche and it makes the most delicious sauce when added to chicken, steak or pork chops - add it to the meat frying pan just before you serve to heat it through...Tis lush!

RealisticSketch · 09/01/2021 20:17

Your dh and DM are both mad and their opinion should be dismissed

ktp100 · 09/01/2021 20:29

Your DH & DM are broken.

Felifox · 09/01/2021 20:38

I've not voted as I think it's a matter of personal taste. It depends what's in the sandwich, if it was purely beef then I'd just have mustard and the basic hot mustard.

Bluesmartiesandpandapop · 09/01/2021 20:41

I love mustard mayo. 100% of my children disagree with me though.

MrsMattMurdock · 09/01/2021 20:45

I made celeriac remoulade today with mayo, whole grain mustard and lemon juice. Absurdly tasty in a smoked ham sandwich. Yanbu.

They don't deserve you OP 😁

Ooh, thanks for the tip - haven’t had that one so will keep an eye out for it.
