Well, the original recipe I was given just said "mustard", which I took
to be mustard in jars.  My swedish friend says he uses the seed style,
but I prefer the hot english or a mixture of the two.  Now, mustard in 
jars is just made of mustard seeds, vinegar, and some other bits and 
pieces, all of which were available in medieval europe.

I *know* it's not an authentic medieval recipe, but was just making a
weak joke recognising that the constituent ingredients were at least
*available* even if not recorded as having been put together in that
way.
