Mustard Question

[Darin Hearn]

Last night I was watching some BBQ shows I have on Tivo. One of the guys was talking about how he puts honey mustard on his pork shoulders before he adds the rub. I put mustard on before I add rub but I always use cheapo yellow mustard. Do you think that using honey mustard or another kind of mustard would add any extra flavor to the meat? I might want to do some experimenting in the future. But tell me what you guys think.

Hey Darin... I'm sure it would add some flaver, but, I don't think it would add alot of flavor IMHO. That being said I'd still give it a try!

Adding Honey mustard would just add more sugar to the outside of the butt. Honey is too mild a flavour to really have much impact in my mind... heck if you can't taste the mustard in your slather how would honey come through!! haha

It could be a case of simply providing more sugar to help form a good Bark as opposed to being flavouring.
