It's funny, I can totally see how a French person would never buy German brands. Interestingly though, the "Löwensenf" brand from Germany apparently produces mustard made like in Dijon, so it would be a good substitute in principle...
- hef19898 4y agoKnowing both, proper Dijon (incl. "industrial" ones) and Löwensenf mustard I'd say Löwensenf is at best a poor alternative. Not that itbis bad mustard, it is just something completely different.
- kergonath 4y agoI tend not to buy German brands. Not because they are bad or anything, but because their mustard was quite different (usually sweeter, less sharp, or less sour) every time I tried. They could be used as an ersatz in a pinch, but I’d rather have the stuff I am used to and which won’t mess with my usual recipes. I know that there are some German mustards that are very close to Dijon, but on balance the risk is much lower going with a French brand.
- rightbyte 4y ago> usually sweeter, less sharp, or less sour Is Dijon used for anything but cooking? I can't see myself having a non-sweet mustard on a sausage etc. But use dijon in cooking or sallads.
- hef19898 4y agoSure, it depends on the sausage so. As a Bavarian with French inlaws I have obviously some complex rules around which mustard is acceptable with which kind of sausage. Dijon is great woth French fries and steaks so. Which is one reason why mustard is scrce in France, the French simply consume more of it.
- froh 4y agoyou need "Extra scharf" extra hot to get Dijon Mustard taste. Löwensenf Extra Scharf is just fine for that.
- kergonath 4y agoI’ll try that one next time, thanks :)
