SO...with the number of "mustard" listings in the top three...who here enjoys the lowly mustard sandwich? My mother was born in Alabama, and from an early age mustard sandwiches were a thing in our house. The first year I went to UCLA one of my friends had a girlfriend who was astounded with the concept of a "mustard sandwich". "Really--you eat a sandwich which is just two pieces of bread with mustard--nothing else? I'll make you one tomorrow."
So the next day she hands me a sandwich which has olives and mustard. "What the heck is this?"
"A mustard sandwich!"
"No...this is an olive sandwich with mustard...a mustard sandwich is just bread and mustard--nothing else!"
Some sort of vindication years later when my wife and I saw the Eastwood directed A PERFECT WORLD when Costner and the kid have mustard sandwiches...I turned to my wife and said "See, it really is a thing--it's not just me!"
My ex-sister-in-law used to eat a variant of that. Mayo sandwiches on wonder bread. :sick:

Mr. Tambourine Man. I think Dylan adored the guy. Loved African cusine

Right! Bruce Langhorne played guitar on a number of early Dylan albums. He also brought an African frame drum to one session, which was the inspiration for "Mr. Tambourine Man."

Later in life he started making barbecue sauces, which really are worth chasing down -- they're really good!

BTW, Langhorne's soundtrack to *The Hired Hand*, the western Peter Fonda made after *Easy Rider*, is fantastic. (I love the film too.) Langhorne composed all the tracks and played all the instruments. Briefly available as a bootleg, the soundtrack was finally issued officially on CD and LP a few years ago, almost 50 years after the release of the film.

Langhorne died in 2017.

I sure didn’t know he passed away. I haven’t kept up with that story for a long time. I sure am going to look for that BBQ sauce though. I pit a hog on July 4 out here on the farm. Maybe online I can find some.

Hellmans Mayo

Any good mustard...and mixed with mayo often.

And very distant third:

Heinz Ketchup.....but only a little on a burger...not used anywhere else.

I've been using fat free plain greek yougurt in place of mayo when mixing w.mustard.....and it makes a great substitute for sour cream on a baked potato or with nachos.
