No shortage at all here in Switzerland, 60 km away from France. I don't get it.

- bambax 4y agoIronically and paradoxically, Dijon mustard can be found in neighboring countries, because non-French people don't eat as much of the stuff. In France the minute any inventory shows up anywhere it's immediately depleted, whereas in other countries it can remain on shelves for weeks. Changing the allotment between France and other countries for exporting firms takes time, and so it does happen that more mustard is sent to countries that don't much care for it, while the French are deprived of it.

- withinboredom 4y agoIf you read the article, you’d know that the mustard doesn’t come from France. It comes from Canada.
