Default Mustard - What is it good for

Dobies have given me a free packet of mustard seeds. Now I have spooned
mustard into a ham sandwich once or twice, even cooked with mustard seeds
but what am I supposed to get if I plant these Golden Streaks seeds? Do I
eat it? Am I supposed to make, er, mustard out of it? And what of the tale
of great trees growing from the tiny seeds? Any advice?

Farmers do use it as green manure, by digging it in. However I believe
that's from an August sowing. Better than chucking them in the bin.
