Mustard: The seeds of a plant in the brassica family (cabbage, turnips, rapeseed, etc) that have been ground up and mixed with vinegar, water, and other ingredients. The seeds contain an enzyme that when reacted with water results in a oil which gives the mustard its 'heat'. The use of mustard as a spice dates back to ancient Egypt with the sauces that we know of today likely being developed by the Romans.
My father likes to make a snack out of a slice of bread smeared with peanut butter and coated with granulated sugar.
I used to live off of cream cheese and grape jelly sandwiches.
My sister mixes ketchup in with her scrambled eggs (blech).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
