What's the matter with keeping some beer, cheese, deli meat and bread in your fridge, along with some actually-from-Dijon Dijon? I can't ever think of a time that I've had, wanted or needed "Mole" though I do know what it is. I'm gonna go slap some cheese and turkey deli meat in a fresh baguette and wash it down with a Slovakian beer now. Foodies are starting to really piss me off.
