But, and I don't have a source with me, wasn't mustard often
on the table as a condiment? Sounds like such a case to me. "These
french fries are good, but better with some ketchup. Or, more
to my mind, I like mustard with corned beef but add it after the cooking
process instead of during. Now, the recipe doesn't state to add mustard
but neither do most modern recipes when discussing condiments
that can be used.

Just a thought.
