Hot stuff

Eating a hotdog without mustard
ds as dancing without music...

White Jesus was talking to his’ disciples, he remarked: ieqg

‘ you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you’ will say to this
“ mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, ‘and it will move.”

Many biblical: scholars believe Jesus was referring to the

tiny seeds of the white mustard plant — sinapis albal,

In ‘southern:Europe, especially in countries bordering on- |.
the Mediterranean, mustard has been used as a good medicine |.

- or food from’time immemorial..The very name sinapsis is
_ mentioned on 4,000 year-old, Sumerian, clay.'t tablets. Some /

researchers say. this proves the name is Egyptian in-origin,

The practice of fermenting grape. juice, or ‘Must, and blen-.’

ding it with the crushed sinapsis seeds dates back to Roman
times at least. The English then named this mixture mustard,

|. from the Latin musturn ardens, or burning Must.

Mustard became a very, popular condiment in European

kitchens “during the Middle Ages. Later, in the Americas, the .
» early'settlers and Indians used the milder white mustard seeds
. for food and medicine. They also valued ‘mustard for its pro-
* perty ‘of relieving headaches and toothaches. :

‘Now, in our modern age, both black and white mustard are

= equally used in kitchens and sickrooms. White mustard seeds
“are used ‘In making pickles, relishes and chutneys. The.
= familiar, bright yellow hotdog mustard is also made from the
* white species and is. sued in both English and German kit-
o chens,

Black mustard — brassica nigra — was valued by the An-

:. gient Greeks for its medicinal properties and its spicy flavour.
* Asa medicine, black mustard was preferred over the milder
- white. Early herbalists suggested taking it internally to case
: digestive problems and external application ta speed up
. | bloodflow.

English herbalists such as John Parkinson and Nicholas

? Culpeper recommended the black mustard seeds as a treat-

‘ment for epileptic seizures and considered it excellent for
; treating headaches, toothaches and other pains and problems.
“The young leaves of black and white mustards are now used

: by many chefs in salads, soups.and stews for their tangy taste
|. and: richness in vitamins: In much of the southern United
“ States the young leaves are ‘boiled with onions and salt pork.

‘

What. a spicy meal!
-The leaves of brown mustards are important in Oriental

[cuisine where they are stir fried or steamed .to enhance the

‘flavour of bland meats or fish. And the ‘distinctive flavour

. one finds in Indian cooking comes from mustard oils, which
: they use in large quantities.

-The medicinal values of mustards, whether black or white,

_ should not be underestimated. Many. patients with ‘congested
_ chests have been helped through the external application of a
‘. mustard plaster.

The same plaster, made from. powdered seeds, has suc«

‘cessfully been used to relieve arthritis, rheumatism and other

_soreness and stiffness ailments. -

However, if left on the skit! too ldiig; it can cause painful: -_
“blisters. For ‘this reason, pure oil or ‘powder “shuld never be -f. *
applied directly to the skin. Put the plaster on @ sheet of f paper -

ior cloth first. .-
