I'd happily take the odd terrorist if this means I get to keep eating this mustard.

Uncle Phil's Dusseldorf Mustard is the pinnacle of mustard perfection.  When they switched away from it at Great American Ballpark there was a near-riot.  They had it back the next week.

Gulden's will do in a pinch.  And there are times when plain yellow mustard works okay on a hotdog, with ketchup (or catsup depending on availability) and fresh chopped onions.

Also, didn't know that tomatoes can grow in the Canadian permafrost that covers the whole country.  Learn something new every day.

Wouldn't trust anything from Düsseldorf. The Germans make curry ketchup and serve it on bangers and chips.  :mad:

German stuff in the US is all cultural holdovers from the 19th century.

Edit: Ok there is an exception. We are being invaded by German style Kebab chains.

German-style kebab chains that are just Turkish döner made palpable for the European palate.

The only thing more disgusting than plain, mealy sausages is döner kebab.

It is no Lutefisk that is for sure.

Anyway we don't have Turkish places around, well ok no fast food versions, here so they have the market cornered.

Had a couple of decent Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants around where I lived in Oslo. Made me appreciate the simplicity of a köfte and crushed wheat with a salad.

I'm sure it can be "fast fooded" up to Chipotle levels. While Greek restaurants seem to enjoy slow-cooking mutton, the Turkish ones are more into their nomade ancestors' way of charbroiling stuff.

Anyway, sorry for the diversion from the original topic.

The topic of Canadian mustard tolerates no competition.

The house I am moving into in three weeks has an actual billiard room. I own a lead pipe so be warned.
