Post #1 - June 27th, 2008, 4:26 pmA pal asked me to ask you where in Chicago he might find "mustard fruit" which apparently is figs (or some other fruit) soaked in mustard oil. Pls consider yourselves duly asked!
GeoSooo, you like wine and are looking for something good to read? Maybe *this* will do the trick!

Post #2 - June 27th, 2008, 4:47 pmI think your friend may be referring to Mostarda di Frutta which is an Italian fruit preserve spiced with mustard essential oil. The mostarda generally has a mix of whole or chopped candied fruits such as cherries, figs, plums, pears, peaches and tangerines which are added to the mustardy, sweet syrup.
I've generally seen it at fancier Italian food stores around Christmas time.Jyoti
A meal, with bread and wine, shared with friends and family is among the most essential and important of all human rituals.

An Italian friend purchased some at Treasure Island recently (doesn't remember the brand) but was disappointed that it had no bite to it.Coming to you from Leiper's Fork, TN where we prefer forking to spooning.
