My grandfather was born in 1896.

1908. Hungarian immigrant, worked at the U.S. consulate in Cuba before moving to California.

I lived in Hamburg, Germany until I was 3 although I was born in New York. My sister still hates me and I still have a huge melon.

Being Americans we were naturally armed to the teeth.


Pretty weird 15 years after the end of WWII.

If it's from grocery store I usually get Kuhne mittelscharf but lately I've been buying larger bottles from wholesale store where I buy Oliehoorn mustard, French mustard made by a sauce artisan family in Hoorn, Holland. It's what the better snackbar etc here provide with bitterballs and krokets.

From my refrigerator ;D

That's actually really good too. Surprisingly their tartar sauce and horseradish sauce are ok.

My grandmother repeated stories told by her grandmother about being displaced by the Russians - and came to Canada in 1870 - from Hamburg. Do you speak any Plautdietsch?

No, my father was an American working in Germany. My family is mainly from Sweden, early 20th century immigrants.

I love their stone ground mustard. I normally use that or Guldens spicy mustard. Same stuff they have at Penn Station. The stuff I got tonight was pretty good. I made a 2nd sandwich so I could test drive it.

Still looking for ideas for xmas meals.
