I went to 'La Moutarderie' today in Beaune where I found out some interesting facts about mustard:
1. Dijon mustard is special because in the olden days they used verjus; the leftover juice from big fat juicy grapes instead of using alcohol. The more yellow the mustard the better quality of Dijon mustard.
2. Get this --- 98% of all mustard seeds used in Dijon mustard come from Canada, exported to Burgundy where they then make the Dijon mustard and then sell it back to us.
3. With the other 2% the town of Beaune is using indigenously grown seeds and will soon be selling it as Burgundy mustard (look out for namebrand of Fallot, sold at Loblaws soon).
4. When crushing mustard seeds, people cry because of the chemical reaction produced (like peeling onions).
5. Mustard is considered to be the very first condiment added to meat at a dinner table.
6. I still don't really like mustard much, but on the occasional piece of jellied ham with parsley, it can go down fairly well!
