Have you bought Grey Poupon recently?
Option 1: Yes

Option 2: No
votes: 8
The definition of recently is up to you.
Yes, I use it for vinegarettes.
I use moutard de Meaux (Pommery) when I want something whole grain and strong.
The best I've found is very fresh Maille. Cheap in France and WOW it clears the sinuses, but without the aid of horseradish.
Question inspired by this: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/08/02/635129556/grey-poupon-and-the-cultural-divide
"GARCIA: And this new working paper by economists Marianne Bertrand and Emir Kamenica explores that possibility. It explores whether the cultural distance between rich people and poor people has increased over time. In other words, it explores the question of whether the things that people do and the things that they buy and how they spend their time, whether those things have diverged between rich and poor over time. And how these economists investigated this issue is almost as interesting as what they ended up finding out.
VANEK SMITH: OK. Here's how this works. Let's say you were talking to someone you've never met, and you only know that she's either rich or she's poor, but she's not middle class. So this means she either lives in a household with a really high income in the top 25 percent of all American households or she lives in a household that is in the bottom 25 percent. That is all you know. And you only get to ask her one question about a consumer brand that she uses. What is the one brand you should ask her about to determine whether she is rich or whether she is poor, the one brand that if she says, yes, I use that best predicts that she is rich? Here's Emir.
EMIR KAMENICA: The question that's most discriminating between the rich and poor in the first year of the data, which is 1992, is did you buy Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard?
.......
VANEK SMITH: It's in the mustard. Back in 1992, the brand you should have asked about to answer this question is Grey Poupon Mustard, even more than Kodak film or Scotch tape.
GARCIA: But that is only one measure and in one specific year of behavior that helps to measure that cultural distance between rich and poor. And in their paper, Marianne and Emir include lots of other examples that they pulled from a variety of data sets that go back decades. Like, what brand of TV do you own, or even what brand of sandwich bag do you buy? These things also help predict whether someone was rich or poor."
Can I find Maille here in Utah? Sounds like I need to try it.
Nope, and never been a mustard or Dijon fan.

No but I do like it. I like mustard a lot
I like Grey Poupon but I like most mustards. Especially with pretzels. Carb heaven.

The thing is, it has to be fresh. We smuggled back a bunch of jars in our suitcases and it turned into Regular Old Mustard after 6 months.

I like a nice snappy Dijon mustard, especially on a sandwich with a nice thick piece of ham freshly sliced off of a ham shoulder just out of the oven, but I don't know if I ever had Grey Poupon Dijon.

It explains a lot of things.
When I was younger I outright hated mustard. My aversion to it isn't as strong as it used to be, to the point on certain things, particularly a Cuban sandwich, I'll admit it belongs and will leave it on. There's even a mustard based bbq sauce (Blues Hog) I like enough to keep a squeeze bottle of it in the fridge at all times for certain things ie pork. But generally, I don't like mustard and especially don't like dijon mustard. Horseradish also is something I don't like, I can't stand it.
I cook a lot with mustard, but cheapo spicy brown private label shit. The way I use it makes it subtle

They actually buy most of their mustard seed from Canada.

I love spicy brown mustard, but have no Grey poupon
My wife I and went to the National Mustard Museum last year (Middleton WI.)
Try Edmond Fallot Walnut Dijon: it's really quite good y'know.
Kevin is right that they lose their piquance if stored too long.
So I am one of only two people who have bought it?
Honestly I don't think Grey Poupon is particularly expensive. I do buy it but the price isn't that much more than normal yellow mustard and it does have a better flavor (imo). It comes in a standard plastic squeeze bottle just like any other mustard. :huh:
edit: so i just poked around on amazon and yeah grey poupon is a little more expensive than the basic heinz/guldens, but it is way cheaper than the specialty mustards.

Yeah, its a brand of dijon mustard. For a long time in the '80s and '90s it was really the only alternative to the bright yellow French's stuff in a lot of places.
It was this commercial that cemented its place in US pop culture.

I think there are 3. Me, Kevin, & you.
I'm not a big fan of yellow mustard anymore. It's too plain. Grey Poupon and pepperjack cheese on a ham sandwich are my go-tos.
Brown deli mustard is good too. I just go for Grey Poupon since it's what my Dad gets. Specifically the coarser country style.
Mustard is gross.

I'm just a very plain/picky eater. I enjoy other condiments (ketchup, RANCH, etc.), but have never liked mustard. Makes me gag.
But have your tried non-yellow mustard?

A few times, and always by accident...order a sandwich...ask for no fancy mustard...still get fancy mustard...blech. One time I did force it down, but it ruined the sandwich for me.

Ranch is not a condiment. Its a lubricant for people who want a protective layer between their taste buds amd their food.

"First, it's disgusting. It tastes like exactly what it is, which is milk that's halfway rotten."
Well, they are full of shit, because "rotten" milk is not the same thing as buttermilk. That's like saying cheese is disgusting because it's "rotten" milk. Sour milk is not buttermilk. Buttermilk is fuckin' delicious.

Ehh, ranch is an acceptable substitute there.
My favorite wings are from Quaker Steak and they have a sauce called Arizona Ranch that tastes like buffalo sauce + ranch. All the taste of ranch on top of your buffalo wing, without actual ranch sauce diluting the spice.
(That and their Buckeye BBQ sauce are two of my favorites)
Ranch is ok. It's better mixed with Taco Bell Diablo hot sauce. ;)
What i can't stand is somebody that puts ketchup on a hot dog. Disgusting. :lol:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttermilk
Sour ("rotten") milk is not the same as buttermilk. Buttermilk is either purposefully cultured to get a sour taste or is the byproduct of butter making. If raw milk sours, it's perfectly fine to drink and that's the way most of the world drinks milk. But if pasteurized milk sours, it's just on its way to going bad.

Protip, mix buffalo sauce and ranch at home in a sauce cup or small bowl for dippinz.

Its not entirely incorrect to say its soured to some extent.

The semantics between "rotten" and "sour" seems to be the issue here, that's all. Equating it to 2-month old milk in the fridge is plain wrong, and that's what I assume most people mean by "rotten" milk.
Half rotten!
I like ranch, btw. To me, it is a taste of America
I usually don't like ranch. The article posted from the Washington Post has some good points but mostly it appears to be a social justice warrior cause against dairy and how bad it's for the planet etc. which is really lame regarding whether or not ranch sucks as a condiment.
Ranch is a decent substitute for mayonnaise or other creamy condiments when I want something more sour and flavorful. I like a "little" bit of ranch with falafel/hummus wraps. I hate when they slather a lot of mayo or ranch on a sandwich though at a deli or Subway.
Home made ranch is also way different from - and even more delicious than - Hidden Valley bottled stuff. For bottled, my go-to's are Peppercorn and traditional. The Buttermilk flavor is good, too, but it's almost too much. A dab'll do ya.

Barf. If Ranch masks flavor, bleu cheese destroys it and wraps in a slimy mess of mold and gunk.

A regional delicacy for mid-westerners I guess. Sort of like fish tacos here.
I don't dip my wings in ranch or blue cheese or anything. Eat 'em straight bois
It's blue cheese or fromage bleu.
But not bleu cheese.

This doit cause l'Académie française beaucoup de major :facepalm: .
Speaking of ranch, I made a recipe yesterday that called for sprinkling ranch dressing powder mix onto the potatoes and stuff. I did that, but never actually tasted it. I've heard of other recipes saying to do the same thing. I think it's just a conspiracy by Hidden Valley to get you to buy their powder packets. Next time I make that recipe, I'm just gonna use Lawrys seasoned salt and minced garlic.

Powdered ranch is decent on a burger or in some hamburger helper style pasta. Just adds a touch.

I found a pot roast recipe that called for mixing powdered gravy, powdered ranch dressing mix, and powdered Italian dressing mix together and sprinkling it over the roast. It was surprisingly tasty.
