In what way would your knowing the name of this country help me to get
Gulden's mustard? I stated clearly that I could not get it here, either
in stores, ordering over the Internet, nor bringing it into the country
in my suitcase.

As I said in another post, the government practices of this country is,
let us say, not conducive to to information sharing. I consider myself
lucky enough just to have internet access at times.

There are many other companies besides Amazon selling this mustard over
the Internet. I have tried several. I stated in my very first post that
I could not order it over the net. Also as I've said before, in several
posts, Gulden's mustard is not permitted here. Customs agents will not
tell me the reason for this. If a company does ship it, Customs will
seize it. The result is I can not order Gulden's mustard over the
Internet, nor purchase it in stores.

So are the majority of the recipes in the "Copy Cat Secrete Recipe"
books that can be found all over the Internet. If the authors of those
books held to the same way of thinking that you do, we probably wouldn't
have any of those recipes either!

No, thank you.

Customs agents won't allow it into the country.

It's not about how much I eat. It's about wanting to eat it when I want
to. Nothing more. I'm sure there are things that you make yourself
because you want to eat them.

> This entire thread seems like much ado about nothing.


If people with your attitude would refrain from answering a post to
which they can't contribute, this thread would NOT be much ado about
nothing. It would have been 6-10 posts from people trying to help solve
a problem bases upon the given parameters.

Not crying. Trying to solve the problem. To date, you've been of little
to no help. Others in this newsgroup have.

People who think something is impossible should not try to stop people
who are in the process of doing it. It comes out sounding foolish.

This might come as somewhat of a shock to you, but the Internet actually
reaches to people outside the US. Not everyone lives there. In fact,
it's a minority, albeit a very vocal one. If EVERYWHERE were a fact, I
wouldn't have made my first post.
