Ground mustard seed by itself can be rather hot even without any additions
such as horseradish.

I would like to get the redaction of this recipe to add to those in
the mustard-msg file in the Florilegium. You might be interested in
looking at the recipes in this file or pointing your new cook to this
file if he might be interested in trying other period mustard recipes.

This file is in the FOOD section of my files:
mustard-msg       (67K)  2/15/99    Mustard seed in period. sauces. recipes.
