I’ve always been curious about the French city of Dijon, ever since I first saw a commercial for Grey Poupon. I tried it and immediately fell in love with Dijon mustard.
A friend recently told me that REAL Dijon mustard from Dijon, France is SO MUCH better than what we get in the United States.
I have to admit that I had my doubts… until this afternoon. After a TGV train ride from Paris, my friend Susan and I strolled over to Moutarde Maille and sampled some of the various mustards.
White wine, tarragon, black currants, green pepper corns. Each has a distinct flavor and a wonderful bite that I’ve never experienced with the version of Grey Poupon we get at home. Needless to say, there are SEVERAL jars in my suitcase, including a couple for the friend who advised me about real Dijon mustard!
After the mustard tasting (and buying) we walked through the touristy area around the Cathedral square, tried some crepes, visited some shops and drank some wine. Susan promises that there is much more to Dijon than mustard and tourists. We’ll find out tomorrow…
