Winter mustard? How is that different from regular mustard?
Ironically enough, I was also searching for the name of those white berries after seeing them around so often.
Enjoyed your photos thoroughly, even though they are scenes I see everyday.
mateo: I think this mustard has cinnamon in it, plus some other spices, and honey. It’s actually quite pleasant. There are a lot of different kinds of mustard here in Germany.
Red Haircrow: I love your name! Sadly I still do not know the name of the berry — I will try to ask people at the office tomorrow, but, given that this week is this week, I doubt many people will be in.
Cinnamon in mustard? Sounds weird, but guess it depends on what you might put it on.
