About this audio guide
This guide to Tierenteyn-Verlent, the mustard shop on the Groentenmarkt in Ghent, follows the money behind a jar: a founder named Petrus Tierenteyn, a Dijon recipe with a Napoleonic legend attached, and a date on the pots that does not add up. It reaches forward to nineteen fifty-eight and the family that has run the counter since. Stand by the barrel near the counter and listen to the ladle while you hear it.
