    What's wrong with French's?

    US company but I still buy them. They bailed us out and I haven’t even seen any other ketchup company. Choice here seems to be Heinz (over my dead body) or French’s. So I go with French’s. Tasty too. However French’s yellow mustard is off the list. The red maple leaf on the bottle is misleading. Yeah they use Canadian mustard seeds but it’s made in the US. Nope, not buying. Especially since I always thought it’s made in Canada but now I look closer …

    Unfortunately no. They are honourary Canadians maybe after they bailed us out here with the tomato farmers but their mustard is still a no go for me.

    Is there a better Canadian option for yellow mustard?

    I haven’t really looked for a Canadian replacement to be honest. We have 4-5 different types of mustard in the fridge at all times. I just switched to a Germany mustard that we already use. Here is a link: https://www.londondrugs.com/products/kuhne-mustard-in-a-beer-mug-250ml/p/L1430185 The Kühne brand seems to be available in most supermarkets here in Alberta. There are better brands in specialty stores but this one does it as a daily for me.

    Oh the irony, so much mustard is grown in Alberta!

    I only know of a couple in Calgary, Brassica and Cian's, but I am from BC. Still, it shows that we should be transporting raw goods less.

    I’ll look them up. Thanks! That’s really a problem here in Canada. We always say the raw material in bulk, let others produce value add products. Guess who rakes in the money? Not us. It’s time for some Canadian products!

    Best ketchup you will ever have is homemade stuff, with fresh tomatoes. If you are really adventurous, you can try different spices or vinegars. Now if you are really adventurous you can make your own vinegars.

    Just what ever I am feeling at the time, I just look up a basic recipe as my guidelines for the ketchup. There are many different spice blends I have tried. Vinegar is a different story I usually just buy an inexpensive wine and add some mother to it and wait a week or two. Only recently have I started making my own very inexpensive wine (more like top tear prison hootch) to make a vinegar with I do not know the alcohol level so it is just sitting on my counter with a coffee filter over. I checked it a few days ago it does not smell very alcoholic, but wow could I ever taste the alcohol when I tasted it.

    Over here in Switzerland I greatly recommend Hugo's. They've gotten really popular really quickly, so stock is hard to find. But someday when they ramp up maybe they'll skip to Canada.
