Little Dollop of Heaven

Today, at work, I got a present, a small box, but what it contained was just enough to make a rainy, gloomy day beautiful. It was a box of 12 small jars that contained the best mustard that was ever created. It's Boetje's Dutch Style Mustard! It's without a doubt my favorite condiment in the whole wide world.

Boetje's is a mustard, stone-ground with only five ingredients: water, vinegar, mustard seed, sugar and salt. I tend to think that they forgot one: angel dust, because there's something in this mustard that makes it taste so heavenly. This mustard goes great with any kind of sandwich, and since I eat a sandwich every day at lunch, this is serious business for me.

I ran out of this mustard just this week, but the good people at Boetje Foods in Rock Island, IL came through for me like nobody's business. Ordered through their website (http://www.boetjefoods.com) on Monday, and here it is Wednesday and I've got the goods. You can say that there's better brands of mustards, but you'd be wrong! I've tried to find a similiar mustard in the grocery stores here in Kansas City, but I've only found pale imitations. Even the Hickory Farms people have nothing that's even a shade as tasty as this mustard. If you like the taste of mustard with real flavor behind it, I can't recommend this enough.
