Well, I for one, plan to lift a jar of Guldens off the shelf next time... oh no....it's gonna hurt sooo much...I do so dread this. Change (yuck) is a part of life. Change is good. Yes, it is. Just keep saying that....I can do this!

Theodora, way back when, sixty or so years ago, if I remember correctly, there were only two choices in the supermarket: French's and Gulden's. Then someone came out with Grey Poupon, but that was supposed to be like "French" mustard (as in France the nation), and most people stuck to American mustard because they were Americans.
But now there are at least fifty different kinds of mustard in our supermarket. From all over the world. And different mustards are, I think, well worth exploring. So while we may always have some Gulden's on hand, we also have things like Colman's (English), Maille (French), a Polish mustard with a name I can't spell, as well of course as our supermarket's house brand and Jack Daniel's Bourbon flavored mustard. The enjoyments of life are relatively few, but among them is the pleasure of many different kinds of mustard. Take care!
