THE MUSTARD SHOP
Norwich, a city in the east of England, is a popular shopping center for thousands of people. In particular, visitors love to explore the small, unusual shops hidden away in Norwich's narrow streets. The Mustard Shop is usually high on everybody's list of interesting shops to see.
The link between mustard, a type of sauce, and Norwich goes back to the nineteenth century. Jeremiah Colman began to make mustard in 1814 in a nearby village. The yellow fields, full of mustard flowers whose seeds were required for Colman's factory, soon changed the appearance of the local scenery. The company expanded rapidly and in 1854 it moved to a suburb on the outskirt of Norwich. By this time, Colman's mustard was famous in many countries. The company is still in existence and many people continue to enjoy eating mustard with meat. cheese and other food.
In 1973, the company opened The Mustard Shop. It is a careful reproduction of a typical mustard shop of a hundred years ago and sells a wide range of mustards. Upstairs there is a small museum where visitors can examine a collection of old Colman's posters and an exhibition explaining the history of mustard. It is a shop not to be missed when visiting Norwich.
