What are your favorite salad vinaigrettes? The best ones I ever had were in Paris. Nothing fancy,

I was wrong. It's Basilippo. My shop knows I love it so I don't have to remember the

Can Grey Poupon, made by Nabisco, compete with made-in-France Dijon?

....Now to answer our initial question about whether real Dijon mustard -- the stuff that is made in France -- is better than American products such as Nabisco's Grey Poupon. The answer is an unequivocal no. After tallying our results, we found that we could recommend five brands, and only two of them, Roland Extra Strong and Delouis Fils, were French. The other three--Grey Poupon (maybe the guys in the limos in the Grey Poupon ads know something after all), French's Napa Valley Style Dijon, and Barhyte--were American-made. Of the four brands that we could not recommend, two were French and two were American..."
