Grey Poupon is the largest selling Dijon mustard in the U.S.[1] The brand of Dijon-style mustard was originally owned and marketed in the U.S. by the Heublein Company and now owned and manufactured by Kraft Foods. Like other Dijon mustards, Grey Poupon contains a small amount of white wine. It is made with brown mustard seed grown in Canada. The wine used is produced in upstate New York under the supervision of a rabbi, to ensure that the product maintains its kosher status. Grey Poupon became a popular mustard in the late 1970s and 1980s as American tastes broadened from the conventional American yellow mustards.
Sweet mother of Jesus our media are motherfucking stupid, especially Fox News, and especially Sean Hannity. Grey Poupon is a mass-marketed AMERICAN-made product made by an AMERICAN company. People use it on their BBQ grills, for Christ's sake. Anyone who suggests that the President is somehow being effete by putting it on a burger is the mother of all idiots.
I am beginning to suspect that all that stuff these Fox people say is aimed not at the people who agree with them ideologically, but at the people who don't agree with them.
This keeps progressives focused on pointing out false hypocrisies. I am certain that Laura Bush's fridge is filled with such delicious things.
Also: I know plenty of liberals who have the pallate and tolerance for strong flavors of an eleven-year-old WASP. Some of the lamest, most flavorless food I've ever eaten was prepared by progressives who think, for example, that mold should never-ever be allowed to calcify on pork.
@gawkimo: The Republicans have disowned the Bush family at the moment, so Laura can fill her fridge with all the cowardly socialist cheeses. George, however, will still favor the aerosol cheese on a Ritz, 'cause that's just how he rolls.
@BookishLookish: That leaves more for us adventurous eaters. Let the great unwashed stick to their franks 'n beans and sloppy Joes, or whatever the meaner classes are eating now.
What is Fox News's "American" standards for spirits? I suppose that box wine and any whiskey made by Seagram's and Jack Daniel's passes the test. Of course, microbrews, small-batch bourbons and bottled wines are evil, blue state decadence.
@Cam/ron: Isn't Seagrams a Canadian outfit? I thought the Bronfmans had maple syrup in their veins in place of ketchup? They probably put vinegar on their fries.
@KatieMick: Natch. Although there are about 6000 Jews in my entire country, so Kosher nosh probably isn't the biggest drawcard for fish & chip shops around here...
@blix: I saved an old Stoli bottle that still had "Made in USSR" in raised glass on the bottom, Comrade. I used to refill it with fresh Stoli as needed. Now, I'll probably use Brita-filtered Zhenka. Future guests, you've been warned!
They're only eating them to show they CAN appreciate them, but CHOOSE not to. Them there fancy foods will sit there untouched and wither like so many of Sean Hannity's flaccid, stinky... talking points.
@DennyCrane: That's pretty good. You take mascarpone and add it to polenta (kind of like a thicker cornmeal cream-of-wheat). It's not unheard of in Italy. Truth be told, that sounds a bit bland. The best cheese to use is a Gorgonzola that's been sitting out for more than seven hours, but that would be more expensive and probably too strong a taste for the White House correspondents.
@i'm a bottle: I have a thing of gorgonzola at home and have not known what to do with it, I was going to mix it in with some sauteed pears and figs. Maybe I'll try that though, it sounds yummy.
@i'm a bottle: No, it's fresh. My husband got it to make stuffed pork chops this week but there's plenty left over. He's allergic to walnuts, so unless he pisses me off today I'll leave them out of the recipe, but thanks!
@Smitros: East Village Cheese, 3rd Ave and 10th Street, double creme brie is between $1.50 and $2.50 per wedge, or $5 for an entire wheel when they have them. It's very, very, very elitist and fancy.
Not quite. It's the probably fixing-to-be clogged atrial valve that makes me gravitate toward aged dairy products or what Clifton Faddiman called "milk's leap toward immortality."
@Smitros: My brother-in-law is a cheese monger, and got his start in DC (at Sutton Place, I think). Anyway, I restrict my fromage intake to the 4 weekends I spend at his place. It takes a month for my arteries to process all that Chaource, Livarot and Reblochon.
@BadUncle: Sutton Gourmet?! It's Balducci's now and IT IS SO GOOD. I will go buy fromage from your frere-in-law and I'm sure if I name drop BadUncle, he'll give me a discount.
Taking with it my memories of Sutton Place Gourmet near American University and its day-old bagels. (Not that I could anything else there at the time.)
@scroll_lock: You'll have to drop my nom d'gawk at his The Cheese Shop in Concord, MA, now. He left Sutton long ago - maybe 3 generations of aged gruyere ago.

But here's what to do, take walnuts, mix with gorgonzola and pear cubes, place on bruscetta, place under broiler to melt the cheese. Amazing.

That's virtually pedestrian by now. One more reason to question the Correspondents Dinner.
There is at least one outstanding cheesemonger in DC, so they could have sprung for some Mimolette and Humboldt Fog.
