Salivating Over 200-Year-Old Mustard in Ghent, Belgium
This tiny apothecary-style shop in Ghent City Centre is a monument to tradition. While Belgium is most known in culinary conversation for chocolate, frites, and waffles, one could easily offer up another candidate: mustard. Tierenteyn-Verlent has been serving up fresh batches of the golden condiment at this location since 1860, still using the same simple recipe that dates back to 1790. Watch the mustard mistress raise her large, iconic wooden spoon high in the air while the spicy yellow waterfall lands in a handmade signature crock. Don’t wait until the duty-free shop to get your hands on this local gem; the Groetenmarkt shop is the only place you can claim a jar for yourself.
