Rumour has it that Christopher Columbus is to blame.
When he "discovered" chiles in South America, he mistakenly thought they were pepper; as is peppercorns.

He really was a confused fellow:
“Yeah, see this here, this long red skinny thing? That’s obviously peppercorns.”
“Chris…um…actually, talking with the locals, it seems those are actu-“
“Oh, you mean the Indians…cuz we’re in India, y’know…”
“Never mind.”
Here's one of my favourite pickles: Piccalilli (Mustard pickle)
This works beautifully with ham, with pork, with sausages, with cheese and, if you blend it with some olive oil, as a dip or salad dressing.
The original recipe probably came from Bengal and was adapted by the British way back in the 18th century. It first appeared in Hannah Glasse's "The Art of Cookery" in 1747.
You can vary the ingredients if you like; green beans are often added, for example. However I would advise against using bell peppers and tomatoes (I've seen some recipes which include them) as they tend to ferment and ruin the pickle.
The labels on the jars are from my (now defunct, since 2016) company. Still got the labels, so why not use them up?

Every tree should have one!
So tell me; what is the best mustard for white sausages?
Right! I don't know the brand, but I do know sweet German mustard, and that sounds like the perfect fit for a Weißwurst!

Does bread, cheese and mustard count as a recipe?

Here’s another one from me: Steak with creamy mustard sauce. Not the best photo, but it’s an old one.

I should mention for challengers the ‘Maille’ mustard website has some excellent mustard recipe’s.
What’s even more interesting is the fr.maille.com website recipe’s differ a fair bit from the uk.maille.com and us.maille.com offerings.
For my tuppence worth the more adventurous will enjoy the fr.maille recipe’s that have that extra je ne sais quoi!
But the other Maille sites have some lovely recipes too.
