Shephards pie and....... mustard???

[DottyDisney]

Traditional shepherds pie for dinner tonight. Simmered for almost 3.5hrs. Its beautiful.

DP has smothered English Mustard over the creamy mash topping.

YABU - Nothing wrong with that, I've done that/would try that/probably tastes delicious.

YANBU - What The Actual Fuck.

Don’t think I’d have English mustard with lamb personally, but if DP likes it then great.

Mash and mustard is genius.

If he enjoys it with mustard let him go for it.

Lamb n mustard though sounds vile lol

Mustard mash is a wonderful thing, but I agree it doesn't really go with lamb.

When cooking I always put mustard in mashed potatoes, gives them a bit of a kick.

Mustard enhances many foods.
Definitely peps up Shepherd's pie.

Would normally put wholegrain mustard in mash (unless serving children as well)

Mustard is nature's practical joke. (not envy) I'd LTB.

He's only wrong because it's not a nice wholegrain dijon with lovely crunchy seeds.

Mustard is definitely what you want in your mash. Maybe a bit of cheese too.

I wouldn't, I prefer HP on the side .

Yeah mustard goes beautifully with shepherd's pie, and with lamb, and meat/spud/gravy meals generally. Bring on the mustard

I haven't but now you mention it...

I think it would be fine. I quite like sweet chilli sauce with cottage pie (not sure about shepherd’s).

Tell him to try Maille Dijon Original instead of English. He won't regret it.

Oh-my initial reaction was nooo! but now I think about it mmmmm mustard always improves things.

I don't eat meat, but it sounds OKish to me (not that far out there) to add mustard. For me, if someone tasted what I made and decided it would be nice with mustard I'd be fine with that. It is a condiment after all, meant to be added at the table as desired. If someone smothered a dish in mustard without tasting it first, though, I'd find that a little bit strange.

I have English mustard with shepherds pie and mint jelly

I wouldn't slather it over the mash, but I'd definitely have English mustard on the side of my plate.

I'd prefer French mustard ( not Dijon) or a mix of French and English

But why French mustard with a dish that's so quintessentially British?!

@BIWI

But why French mustard with a dish that's so quintessentially British?!

There's nowt wrong with a bit of fusion cuisine, BIWI

I spread mustard on cheese on toast. Horseradish too, sometimes.

He needs some Maille tarragon mustard with shepherd’s pie!

I hate mustard but id try it in a shepherds pie that sounds kind of nice actually
