I have mixed mustard and mayo on chicken, turkey and beef but it never occurred to me to try it on tuna fish.


So I just did.


It's gooood.


I suggest a 2 to 1 ratio of mayo to mustard (to start and then adjust for taste) as the mustard has the stronger flavor and you still want to get the flavor of the mayo.


As for liking mustard as a kid, yeah, loved it on hot dogs all the time. Wasn't until later in life that I started putting ketchup and mustard on stuff together.

Mustard-mayo combo is standard for my tuna salad and egg salad.

Children don't tend to stop favoring sweeter tastes till puberty.
I KNEW it! I'm weird. And I just confirmed with my mom - even as a baby/small person - I definitely did NOT have a sweet tooth. By ANY stretch of the imagination.

Of the four essential food groups : sugar, salt, grease and vinegar, mustard works well with them all.

I have always liked mustard and I am middle aged. I rarely put it on anything and when / if I do it's typically a spicy brown type mustard vs your generic yellow mustard.

I like it with soft pretzels or that rare ham sandwich on wheat or rye bread.

Occasionally on a bratwurst or hotdog.

That's pretty much it for my mustard consumption

I never tolerated regular mustard at any age. I'm 70 now, so not going to change.

I often use mustard as an emulsifier for salad dressings, and no one (young or old) has ever complained about it.

I'm going with the popular option that it depends on the individual. French's mustard was a readily available condiment for hot dogs. Most often scarfed down at baseball games. Very young.

My tastes have since expanded to the Grey Poupon varieties: Dijon -> mild and creamy made with white wine (some panini's), hearty spicy brown (soft pretzels, sauerkraut, ham and cheese sandwiches), deli version. Not always used as listed. Sometimes even infused with horseradish.

The very hot Chinese mustard - used sparingly.

Visit the National Mustard Museum and try some of the different types. My favorite is the Pecan Honey Mustard on a ham sandwich.
