Whilst not feral in itself, Colman's mustard can be the ingredient of more feral, wayside, or even freegan fare. The 50g tube is ideal in this respect, handy enough tpo keep in your feral-fiddle case in order to pep up even the most unappetising hedge-salad, bin-leavings or road-kill. Even when dining out it comes in handy when the house-mustards just don't cut it, which, to be honest, they very seldom do - at least not at the cheap joints I frequent (Wetherspoons, Harvester, and Subway who don't offer any mustards at all).

In terms of Pure Nard, you can do a lot worse than Colman's Horseradish Sauce, but the regular 259ml jar is just too cumbersome for any such feral use - and whilst the Heinz sachets available from caterers are handy, their contents are rancid. So, having unsuccesfully petitioned Colman's to introduce a 50g tube on various occasions (1981, 1995 & 2004) the solution, thus far, has been to decant it into well-washed 19gm tiger balm jars which I also keep in my feral-fiddle case along with rosin, spare strings, Zoom H1, various Jew's Harps (A, D, G & E Szilagyi Black Fires), penny whistles (Clarkes C & D), an assortment of mutes, rosary beads, a spool of 16lb fishing line, Opinel pen-knife, Stanley 99-E, a tiny Steiff bear (called Trouble Bruin), hedgehog skull, 2 Green Man carvings, glow-in-the-dark statuette of Our Lady of Fatima, a lock of my great-great-grandmother's hair, an assortment of Acme fowler-calls (duck, crow, nightingale, teal, cucko, quail etc.), whizz-sirens, wind-whistles and Swiss Warblers, as well as my fiddles (both regular & Black Sea) and their bows.
