Best Brown Mustard on The PLANET

[ROX]

Remember the thread about bratwurst?  (I do, and now I can't find it or I'd just post on that one....but)

I mentioned a "Midwest Only" (IL, IA, WI, MN) area brown mustard that was just the BOMB, and perfect on bratwurst...well..I found it.

"Boetje's Stone Ground Mustard

GOLD MEDAL (Coarse-grained Category) at the 2008 World-Wide Mustard Competition. This Dutch-style grainy brown mustard is the pride of the Rock Island, Illinois, and one of the Midwest's great food treasures"

It's official...it was voted BEST in the WORLD!

It beat out Grey Poupon, and a boatload of European & west coast "gourmet" mustards hands down.

Sadly, outside a small handfull of Florida markets is rarely marketed outside the Upper Midwest.  If you want some, it's like $3.50 a 8.5 oz jar, and if you do a Yahoo search, you can buy it off the internet.

I just ordered a case.

Anything less on a bratwurst, hot dog, or salami sandwich is a travesty.

I lived in Rock Island for 2 years back in the 80's and lived within a mile from the factory and never knew it.

Now if I could just find someone in Puerto Rico who can hook me up with a connection for Danish Dak Hard Salami (all beef), I'd have it made.

what is stopping you from going to get it yourself?
you know it is U.S. Territory, no passports etc. needed (unless an airline requires it), everyone there is a US citizen.

it seems to be the only place a U.S. Citizen can live without having to pay federal income taxes.

My oldest niece married a guy that was born there. nicest guy I ever met, tall feller too. there be Giants near San Juan. most likely descended from a certain giant of a pirate that stayed there a lot during.... bahhh nevermind.
San Juan (Saint John) used to be the name of the Island and Puerto Rico (Port Rich) the name of the City. somehow it got turned around, and became Port Rich Island, Saint John City.

bahhh

Rich Port,  John the Saint, just remembered a lot of foreign languages use words backwards from English. sometimes I forget that little rule.

That must be some good mustard. I worked at a place that made mustard and it was pretty darn good.

I remember reading (was it here, Eskimo? Pongo? Curval?) someone who was preparing a sandwich at the same time he was changing his kid's diaper... thought he had mustard on his fingers and well... I have been unable to eat mustard since that day. Dijon or not Dijon...

Why dont you become a distributor.

I keep telling my sister who lives in Virginia the same thing about pork roll.
Seems nobody down south has ever heard of it let alone tried it.
But when they do. they love it..

Used to be when we went ot visit. we would bring a couple of small packages with us to give her a taste of home.
But she started turning her neighbors onto it and now when se go we have to bring a couple of entire 6 lb rolls with us

For some reason, Dak (a Danish company) stopped marketing it's salami to stateside US markets in 1983 and only continues to market it in Puerto Rico.  The vast majority of salamis are pork based.  Dak is one of the very few companies that have an all beef salami.  Big difference in taste.  Beats Italian pork salamis hands down.
