Are You There Cat?

Cat, [p]I've been dying to try out your rib recipe for some time now. Have everything together to make it happen except . . . the mustard seed. I went to Penzy's web site and didn't find black mustard seed. I ordered the brown ones. Will that do, or must I look elsewhere till I locate the black ones??? [p]Colorfully,[p]bb

bb,[p]The black seeds have become difficult to find, but the browns are an ideal substitute.[p]Enjoy the ribs - still my favorite way to do them![p]Cathy

Howdy Cat,[p] Bought any more Global knives lately? According to several things I've read, black mustard seed is becoming harder to find because it is harder to grow than brown mustard seed. Makes it less economically viable for people to sell it. However, you can still get it from Asian or Indian grocery suppliers. For example:[p]The Oriental Pantry[p]MikeO

Hiya Mike -[p]My husband bought me the Global 8" slicer for Xmas - I don't use it much, but it's great to have when I need it. [p]Yes, I've read the same about black mustard seeds, although lately they've been available in my local market. The browns are slightly different botanically, but the taste is close enough not to matter.[p]I should ask our esteemed Webmaster to update my rib rub recipe.[p]Cathy

Cat,[p]Thanks so much Cat. On my days off I'll be smoking some babybacks a la your method . . . weather permitting. We had a W. Texas dust storm here today with wind gusts approaching 70mph, and viz down to a couple of hundred yards.[p]I already know they are going to be super from the oohs and ahhs I've read in past months here. I'll let you know.
