    Yellow mustard is not less fancy. It’s yellow because it has turmeric in it. That’s more ingredients and it’s one of those fancy unique spices.

    The reason it’s cheap is because Americans like the flavor of turmeric in their mustard so some companies have made a cheap version of it.

      Plus, different mustards for different foods. I like a yellow with a lot of things, but on a hotdog is pretty classic. I like a spicy brown mustard with some chicken. And maybe a stoneground for a deli sandwich. Chinese mustard from some restaurants, like with spring rolls, is also quite the treat at times, if you like the spice level! I’m hungry.
