French's Mustard

[goodquestion]

Where can I buy French's Mustard in Finland (yellow mustard)? I am a diabetic, and the sweet mustard is no good for me.

Thanks!

They sell Dijon atleast thats sugarfree and also then mustard powder if you're experimental enough to do your own.

[goodquestion]

I tried Dijon, and almost cried

I guess I will have to be experimental, I wonder if the mustard powder is available from white mustard seeds instead of black ... guess I will find out, or I will have import a crate of mustard from Canada

I don´t know what is the colour of the seeds mustard powder is made of but powder itself is light yellow.

I think they sell French's mustard in the Citymarkets in the capital city area. I don't remember for sure if it's french's or not but at least its american style so same thing right?

the funky stores in hakaniemi sell all possible and a few impossible spices so they'd probably have whole mustard seeds as well...

Yes this is French mustard in Citymarkets - at least anything from brand Maille, which at least I have seen three products of - one is mustard with honey, maybe too sweet for the OP.

To the OP : if "Moutarde fine de Dijon" is too strong for you, try "Moutard à l'ancienne de Dijon" with whole mustard seeds. It may not make you cry, but still tasty and not sweet like sinappi. Found it at my local K-citymarket at least and makes a vinaigrette look great.



Otherwise the French delicacy shop Deli-Deli in Hakaniemi Market (Kauppahalli) or through internet ordering may have a good selection of mustards for you to try.

Is this what you mean goodquestion?


Anyway, like I said, I think you can get that in citymarkets in the Helsinki area. If not you should be able to find it from the little shop in the WTC in downtown Helsinki.

Yes, not French as from France, but the brand French's

[NanaM]

OK I get it, didn't know that brand

[maxxfi]

I didn't know the brand but I'm curious: does French's Mustard
tastes so different from any other brand to be irreplaceable?

[Pursuivant]

Dunno, LIDL had some crap "American Mustard" during their theme week that doesn't differ much... I get from the Estonian deli Felix Pöltsamaa Sinep - thats a bit like half horseradish half mustard... lets say it wakes you up

And to "goodquestion" - if you move here you might as well kiss goodbye to all your known brands in the USA. They're "whassdat" here. Its same sh***t usually but in a different package. No Velveeta you hear!

Most large grocery stores have an "Imported goods section" where you'll find North American items over-priced - such as:

French's Mustard, Kraft Dinner, Maple Syrup, etc.
Best of luck.
