Both.

Chilli on most things, but a bacon sandwich NEEDS English mustard. And roast beef HAS TO HAVE French mustard.

Sausage sandwiches? Either, or both.

Chilli on everything else.

The hotter the better. Ham, bacon and sausage incomplete without English mustard and it has to be Colmans not some inferior excuse.

That is spot on. My wife tried to fob me off with Asda's own brand recently.

Never will this happen again.

Nothing worse than the yellow concoction you get at burger bars. Can't even call it mustard its so bad.

Horseradish on beef, chilli on everything else.

You're nearly right. Horse* with beef, but also with smoked fish: mackerel, salmon and, especially, eel. Mustard has a wide range of applications -- English in a ham sandwich is a good application. Chilli is delicious, and is worming its way into more and more of the things I eat. There are many foods (especially European) where it is fundamentally wrong, however.

* one of my favourite comedy sketches is Jamie in The Thick of It beginning with the question "are you a horse?"

I'm a big fan of both.

I recently bought a cheap jar of wholegrain mustard, scooped out a tablespoon of it and stirred in Colman's mustard powder to replace it. Blazing hot with that wholegrain texture and flavour.

PS Infinity Foods has the best horse in a jar I've come across -- made by Biona. It's not as good as the real thing, but it's better than any of the alternatives I've come across. Anyone want to recommend anything else?

Chilli by a country mile. Mustard is like cat excrement. I have never tasted cat sh*t however.

I've been searching for an elloquent way to approach my feelings and level of approbrium regarding mustard and in one sentence I think you've managed it.

I like horseradish and chilli in equal measure and is mood dependent.

Had a corking Thai Green Curry today that near as dammit blew a hole clean through my cranium which I wasn't expecting as it wasn't even a Red curry. Have to say though that my real achilles heel atm is Frank's hot sauce. Utterly addictive.

I'm a mustard addict.

Wholegrain mustard for a sausage sandwich
Colemans English mustard on ham / gammon
French mustard on steak
American mustard on hot dogs

Chilli is good on a burger off the BBQ.

Horseradish for roast beef, mustard for steak and hot dogs, mustard or chilli for burgers, chilli for chicken. Roughly.

I read somewhere about a condiment used by the British in India during the time of the Raj which I think was a mixture of all three. My favourite product is a condiment called "Savora" obtainable in France which has 11 spices and other products including mustard, cayenne pepper and garlic.
