Wholegrain mustard

[Muffy]

i love putting wholegrain mustard in my homemade burgers BUT i just opened my jar and it seems to be slimey (sp?) i cant see the used by date but i know i only bought it a few months ago.....

is it ok or not??

i know sometimes an oily layer forms at the top. is that what you mean? All the grains settle in the one i buy.
My general rule of thumb is if you think something is iffy then chuck it. I honestly think that better to be safe then sorry.
On another note I didn't think mustard could really go off. can it?

[Muffy]

no its like when i put the spoon in to get some out it all came out kinda slimey... umm i dont know how to explain it LOL

I just asked my DP and he says to have a little taste and if it tastes vingery then its off.

[Muffy]

[*LittleMissSummer*]

my DP says definitely chuck it
