[Sca-cooks] Mustard Roundtable at Pennsic

[Stefan li Rous]

Gwyneth proclaimed:
<<< I just recieved notification that I will be hosting Mustards Roundtable 
101 on Monday August 9th at 6 pm in AS 14 at Pennsic :)
This will be the first time I have hosted (wouldn't presume to teach, 
since there are a number of fine and experienced mustard makers) a class.

Basically I will be bringing some mustards and hoping to share 
information and mustard samples. I am hoping that other people 
interested in the art of mustardmaking will bring samples of their own 
endeavors or food to help with the sampling. Anyone wanting to help with 
the hosting is welcome! Suggestions are also welcome. >>>

Good luck. Getting word out will be your biggest problem.

<<< I made 8 quarts of mustard - 4 or which I will bring to this. Not sure 
how many folks will bring examples so want to make sure this is covered. >>>

Wow. 8 quarts is a lot of mustard. Even enough to cover Duke Gunthar!

<<< Going to try out some more mustards that I haven't made before just for 
the heck of it and offer them as well.

One mustard that intriques me are Tewksbury Mustard Balls..might also 
look for period mustards from other lands that I haven't made. >>>

I'm not sure if I've heard of these Tewksbury Mustard Balls. Are they similar to these?

<<< So far I have done New England Maple Syrup, Cranberry Honey Mustard, 
German Horseradish, and Red or Violet mustard. Only one of these is 
documented period altho the others I probably (and will) check to see 
how early they were or could have been made. >>>

The New England Maple Syrup is very unlikely not to be period or even close.
