Colman's Mustard POWDER

Anything against Amazon or other online retailers?

No way! It’s a must (geddit?) for my cheese sauces.

Runs out the door to see if Nolan’s still has some in stock.

Why would they discontinue a successful product?

Check out the polish shops. Some really nice mustards in them.

I got in so much trouble when I was caught putting Aldi Brown Sauce into a HP bottle. I wonder would they notice the mustard powder? The packaging is perfect for fraud to be committed. 🤓

I have a tin in my cupboard for at least 10 years, and I'm still putting a 1/4 tsp into salad dressings and the occasional other stuff.

I thought only recently "I should really replace that" but I won't be binning it now!!!

Yes, I can read too, thanks. That doesn't mean that shops won't still have pre-existing stock. When a product is discontinued it doesn't necessarily disappear overnight.

Has anyone checked for stocks in Dunnes? Thats where I always used to by it.

Some on Amazon for under a fiver BUT postage over £20 ;-(

Our small local SuperValu (which is usually badly stocked) had a couple of tins in stock yesterday with a best before date of 07/2023

I use the mustard powder to coat the par boiled potatoes before roasting - I hate regular mustard….

We're getting slightly off topic here but AFAIK, Musgrave's displayed prices are ex. VAT but they do charge VAT at the till. Then if the buyer is VAT registered (which I think you have to be to get a Musgrave's card) it's up to them to claim the VAT back.

I noticed this shortage of colman's Mustard powder a few months ago, and thought it might relate to the general mustard shortage this year (apparently due to various droughts), so I eeked out my remaining supplies.

Was in Belfast at the end of Sept, and picked up a couple of tins.

Freshly mixed mustard is a thing of joy, and the powder enhances sauces.

I hope it returns to our shelves.

No sign of it in any of the shops I have tried, some random small ones too on my travels. Happened to be in Galway city today and called into Evergreen which was suggested as having a similar product, turns out they only had some in their Barna branch but the shop assistant helpfully told me go to any supermarket and there was a small yellow tin of Colmans mustard powder 😁

I must do same as family coming home at Christmas from UK. Some UK producers just don't send things to Irish market as it's too small, I had same with a type of Dulux paint, still available in UK and even in the North but no longer sold here, bit annoying but understandable when our entire population would fit into many cities in UK without the spread out delivery costs.

Spotted some 2oz tins in Nolan’s this morning. MIL missed her flight? Ah well. 😂

Enniskillen is not the Republic. It looked like Colman’s had stopped exporting Mustard Powder to the south because the extra paperwork was not worth it. Maybe they’ve changed their minds or Nolans have found a workaround.

maybe it’s to do with this. 🤔
