Let’s talk aesthetics for a second. The French’s jar with its bright yellow label and retro, unpretentious design feels like a friend who doesn’t try too hard. It sits confidently on the fridge door next to the hot sauce and the pickles, ready to pounce on anything boring.
It’s also a surprisingly versatile friend to cheese plates. A small bowl of this mustard next to a wedge of aged cheddar or a soft brie? The sharpness cuts through the richness perfectly. Pair it with cornichons and a glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc, and you’ve got an instant party.
And yes, it’s completely fine to eat it straight off a spoon when no one is watching. No judgment here.
