we enjoy food cooked in mustard oil . didn't know the same was restricted for cooking use in the US on account of some acid it contains.

Erucic acid which is bad for the heart

How is the taste with mustard oil?

It’s the smell….it has some pungency _wasabi , horseradish ..just a drizzle of the cold pressed raw oil in salads adds the depth of pungent , nutty flavour …cooking tempers the pungency but it can still be tasted in fish , meat etc …
