Rather additives are used to tone mustard down for French's or Koop's. You can duplicate Chinese (or English Pub Mustard) by mixing powdered mustard with water and maybe a little oil. (Sub beer for the water in Pub Mustard). If the mustard is done properly, breathing in thru the mouth whilst eating it mustard will slam your throat shut... which will give some panic attacks from not being able to breathe temporarily. <GGG> ENJOY!!! -- Uncle Dirty Dave's Kitchens Home of Yaaaah Hoooo Aaahhh HOT Sauce & Hardin Cider
