More About the Mostly Medieval Mustard:

This mustard is lovely on a sandwich, on a burger, on a charcuterie board, in a salad dressing (or, you know, after a joust).

Why a medieval mustard?

Just for the fun of it. The whole Lusty Monk adventure was fueled by a fascination with old recipes, and a history junkie’s dive into various culinary rabbit holes.

Also, after months of fussing with the recipe to get the spices right, it tastes great on almost everything.

There’s something about ancient recipes – a snippet of life from a different world. And it’s fun to play with these recipes, try to come up with your own version, imagine sitting at a long wooden table, fires burning in the hall, dogs scratching through the rushes on the floor. (Ahem. And possibly Peter O’Toole and Katharine Hepburn fighting by torchlight. If you know, you know.)

Why “mostly”?

This is not an authentic replication of a medieval recipe. They didn’t break out a bottle of balsamic vinegar and plug in the seed grinder. We aim for a similar taste profile and hope we come close. So while we revere our friends that DO recreate authentic medieval recipes, we wanted to acknowledge that this is a modern take on some old manuscripts.
