If you're looking for a mustard substitute, you could try using ground Turmeric instead. If you just don't have ground dry mustard, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of prepared mustard for 1 teaspoon of ground dry mustard. Keep in mind that the substitution will likely affect the moisture level of your recipe so you may want to hold back a couple of teaspoons of the liquid in your recipe.
Creole Mustard is a variation of wholegrain mustard where the seeds are slightly crushed. They are not ground nor are they whole. The ingredients in Creole Mustard can vary from producer to producer slightly, however, they all have the same basic flavor. However, some are better than others. Creole Mustard can substitute American style mustard in most any recipe.

They may be flavored with herbs, peppercorns, citrus fruits, honey, champagne or sherry. Their flavor can be hot to mild.

English mustard is available in powder form, or ready prepared (also called 'made mustard'), in jars. It is a very hot style of mustard and is made from ground mustard seeds mixed with ground turmeric (for the yellow color) and other ingredients such as flour, citric acid and sugar. If you see the term 'English mustard' in a recipe it could mean either prepared or in powder form: check whether there's any indication in the recipe to tell you which type of mustard they're talking about. If there's nothing to guide you, assume it's prepared mustard that's required. One teaspoon of powdered mustard will be much hotter than one teaspoon of prepared mustard: err on the side of caution and use the prepared mustard; you can always make it hotter later on. English mustard is used to coat beef tenderloin when preparing beef wellington; it's also a traditional accompaniment to roast beef.
English mustard is a type of mustard that is known for its strong and spicy flavor. It is made from a blend of mustard seeds, vinegar, and other seasonings. English mustard is typically hotter and more pungent than other types of mustard, such as American yellow mustard or Dijon mustard.

A suitable substitute for English mustard in a recipe is Dijon mustard, which has a similar tangy and slightly spicy flavor profile.
