One of the most interesting benefits here on the forum and the Vox and text buffer is the exposure to other cultures.  Lots of good people all over the world.

We dont have food stuffs in such containers here in America. Its more reserved for stuff like sealant, toothpast, KY Jelly.....ect. In Africa they have some kind of coffee in vacuum sealed bags that makes one entire pot with like one spoon of coffee. So I put my usual 6 spoons in and we were all running around the bushveldt all morning jacked up on caffeine.

We got some German restaurants here that will knock your socks off. One in particular has great food and a beer garden to enjoy it in.

Didn't know you don't use a high resolution screen for reading these. Now I do. After doing some research I also have learned that over there liquid spice sauces are sold by the gallon even for regular households. Since that applies to Tabasco, too, I don't believe you use them in such large quantities. How do people who live alone keep them fresh?

And why am I offended? Food is my main source of livelihood. I don't like playing with it in a manner that makes it inedible.

Besides, I am not actually offended at all. But keep on feeding...

I knew a couple with no kids who used to go through a 4 liter can of ketchup monthly.  I will speak no more of it as I am a live and let live kind of guy, but that even offended me(!).

People over here can be strange in their food consumption habits.  You can get them in smaller quantities obviously, but I've seen more than one person who latched onto something they really liked, and would go through a LOT of it at a time.  It's like the Frank's Red Hot ad, "they put that s%&* on everything."

Admit it, what was the first thing you thought when you saw that tube?

I thought "those wacky foreigners." and proceeded to a guess using my knowledge of ice land type foreign people and came up with some strange concoction of pickled spice curry mayonnaise. 

oh, its mustard   

[Dragon]

I thought the tube was anchovy paste at first, kinda glad to see it is mustard.

[Chris79]

A German friend of mine brought me back the time type of mustard from Germany, pretty good stuff

[mbailey]

Yep me too, or tomato paste    Enjoy Lusche!! Looks and sounds delish

It threw me as well. I thought it said delikatass and figured he'd just shopped on the way home from a prostate exam....

Now, as far as mustard goes, it should be in a jar or bottle. Lusche, if you can get this stuff in Germany, it'll light up your meal and cure your cowlick.

Thanks for the idea, Lusche! Tried it today, substituting the stock with dark wheat beer. Yummy!

I'd recommend sautéing the onions in a bit of olive oil, or butter for half an hour, to 45 minutes. Onions and other aromatics need heat without too much moisture to really bring out the flavor.

You should be looking for a nice translucency to the onions, and a good glazing on the bottom of your cooking surface. Add a few halved carrots and some celery for a very nice, natural sweetness to the dish.

Google umami (sometimes spelled oomami).

We don't eat much beef these days but I have to say that original post photo looks delish!
