Yellow mustard is for trailer trash families. It's grey poupon or nothing in
mac salad. :-)

I suspect a lot of people would disagree with you on that. Truth
to tell, I don't like it much myself, except as a minor ingredient.

I do like Grey Poupon, but I've never put it in my mac salad. Might
be worth a try...

A good compromise on flavor and money: Gulden's Brown Mustard.

Wow, I haven't bought Gulden's in forever. Nice idea. For the
record, I tend to buy yellow mustard because Miguel (DH) likes
it on sandwiches. And I married him anyway... ;-)

I've made this with Grey Poupon. It's quite good. Just say NO to
yellow glop.

Or not.
