Unfortunately, I've never been there. My job is that of event marketing manager and I've tried to book this festival for our company for several years. Sadly, the logistics of various locations and long timeframe make it a nightmare to try to do what we need. However, everyone that I've talked to raved about the event as being great fun and very well run.

Here's a quick recipe for dijon mustard lovers. I made this a few nights ago. Quick and easy. About 15 minutes.
Saute a chicken breast in butter over medium heat.
Remove the chicken when finished and add coarse chopped shallot and garlic. Saute until soft.
Add a tablespoon (or more depending upon taste) of dijon mustard and wisk in some light cream (I actually use liquid coffee mate---it works well ). Increase heat to thicken sauce and spoon over the chicken.
I usually serve this with some garlic rice---the rice soaks up all of the mustard sauce!

I keep some French's Classic and also some Spicy Brown Mustard at home. If Marriott provides Dijon mustard with my room service Bacon Cheeseburger, I will use that as well.

BTW, this recipe is a classic in France for calve's liver; it also uses a tbs of coarse ground Pommerey mustard in addition to the Dijon. ^ ^

Raye's Old World Gourmet. ^ BEST mustard I have ever had. Great on eggs, sammies, you name it. Wife and I have visited Maine 5 or 6 times now and we always come back with some Raye's for personal consumption and for gifts.
Eastport area is beautiful to visit, Raye's is about the only "tourist trap' found there.

Just curious....has anyone been to Raye's? Are my wife and I the only Raye's fanatics out there?

I try to pick up a couple of tubes of Löwensenf whenever I go to Germany. Strongest mustard I've ever tasted. Good stuff!
I think it's especially tasty with Rhineland style Braten (Senfrostbraten and Sauerbraten0

homemade?
Lots of mustard lovers...but no one has tried making their own? I haven't either, but it's quite easy to do and you have complete control over how spicy the resulting mustard is based on the timing of when you mix in the vinegar. Something I hope to experiment with soon...

I'm currently using Edmond Fallot Burgundy Mustard. Pretty darn good - smooth and a tiny bit spicy.

J'aime moutarde chaud! And, so much so that whenever we're in Paris we always go to the Maille store on the southeast side of the Place de la Madeleine and purchase several large crocks of the fantastically fresh "moutarde fort supplémentaire." This mustard has nothing in common with what you can obtain at the local Publix or Whole Foods. You'll buy the size and type of crock you prefer (many are beautifully decorated object d'art or just plain but elegant stoneware). The vendeur then carefully pumps the mustard from barrels under the counter. There are several varieties for purchase and all can be great gifts for those who enjoy this condiment. The mustard will travel extremely well in your checked luggage as they do a wonderfully expert job of packaging it. It lasts for well over a year in the fridge and likely much longer. I don't know with certainty as it would never last that long in my fridge! If you are green-oriented and organized, take the purchased and empty crocks back to Paris with you and they will refill them. Merveilleux! After you purchase the mustard be certain to nip into the Madeleine location of the amazing Laduree - just around the corner....
