 You helped me several years ago and I hope you can help me now. I am looking for a recipe 
for roast duck I made many years ago. It had a black peppercorn crust. I know it has Chinese 
Oyster sauce, coarse salt and coarse peppercorn in the recipe. There is also dried rosemary. 
There is also a stock you make with celery carrots and onions. You coat the duck with the 
Oyster Sauce mixture and then roll it in the salt and pepper. Then you let it dry in the frig 
for 2 days.

 It came out of a Christmas cook book. I cannot remember the name of the book but there was a 
 chapter in the book called "Christmas at Home with Friends" and a chapter called "A Victorian 
 Christmas"

 Please help.

 Thank you

 Helen

Uncle Phaedrus,

My husband and I recentely ate at the Countryside Family Restaurant in Odessa, Missouri where 
they served us a Roasted Pork and mushroom Noodle Soup.  It was "to die for"!  I asked about 
a recipe but was politely advised that they do not give it out.  The noodles were like the 
frozen Reame's egg noodles.

If you could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Martha 

Hello Martha,

Sorry, no luck.

  Good Morning:  

Schmidt's Sausage Haus in the German Village section of Columbus Ohio, serves a creamy mustard 
sauce as a condiment with their fried sauerkraut balls.  It is unlike their other mustards, 
with a smooth, not tart, taste.  Someone told me it may have origins with Marzetti's (a former 
Columbus restaurant known for its salad dressings).  I would love to have the recipe, as it is 
so good on sandwiches, too.

Thanks for all you do, and Happy New Year!

Hi Susan,

The Schmidt's Sausage Haus menu on the Internet doesn't specify what kind of mustard or mustard sauce they serve with their sauerkraut balls. There are no mustard recipes or copycats for any mustards from Schmidt's Sausage Haus. So, I am unable to proceed. Next time you go there, ask them what kind of mustard it is and then get back to me. Not brand, but type of mustard.

If I'm not mistaken, the Schmidt's Sausage Haus uses Jack Daniel's Mustard. The fried sauerkraut 
balls probably used Jack Daniel's Honey Dijon Mustard.
 
Jack Daniel's Mustard comes in 6 varieties:
Jack Daniel's Olde No. 7 Mustard
Jack Daniel's Honey Dijon Mustard
Jack Daniel's Hickory Smoked Mustard
Jack Daniel's Stone Ground
Jack Daniel's Horseredish Mustard
Jack Daniel's Spicy Southwest Mustard
