If you search through Early English Meals and Manners: The Boke of  
Keruynge
(Boke of Keruynge is 1508)
which is online at:
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/24790/24790-h/keruyng.html

you'll find the traditional meats and dishes that require mustard,  
such as:

Seruyce. 1. Brawn, &c. ¶ Fyrste sette ye forthe mustarde and brawne,
  and

Take your knyfe in your hande, and cut brawne in ye dysshe as it  
lyeth, & laye it on your soueraynes trenchour, & se there be mustarde.

Here endeth ye keruynge of flesshe. And begynneth sauces for all maner  
of fowles.

Mustarde Mustard for beef; Verjuice for boiled chickens; Cawdrons for  
swans; is good with brawne, befe, chyne, bacon, & motton. Vergius is  
good to boyled chekyns and capon / swanne with cawdrons / rybbes of  
beef. befe with garlycke, mustarde, peper, vergyus; gynger sauce to  
lambe, pygge, & fawne / mustarde & suger to fesande, partryche, and  
conye
  Mustarde is good for salte herynge.

There are several more mentions. Summer sausage might work well. It  
doesn't need refrigeration.
