TIL that, in the 19th century and first half of the 20th, condiments sets commonly had three shakers: salt, pepper, and... miscellaneous. (The third shaker was commonly for powdered mustard in the UK, but could also have sugar and paprika.) Anyway, bring back dedicated tabletop mustard storage >:C

A shaker doesn't seem practical for mustard, it needs to sit 30 mins to develop. I have a small silver† cruet set, and the third place is for a wee little pot for making the mustard up just before service † No hallmarks, but tarnishes like silver, probably EPNS, as with most of my Nana's silver

I got this great set of four as a gift and added cinnamon sugar and oregano to salt and pepper. Mostly for the looks.

cinnamon pls

Oh, i am going to need a paprika shaker!

We had a paprika shaker at the table when I was a kid. It was my favorite spice before I discovered other spices.

Or make the holes a little bigger and put chili flakes in there!

I'm filling mine with dill

But I like my mustard in goop form.

We had the salt n pepper and then a big shaker for sugar. A friend was over and made a big bowl of popcorn and poured the sugar on it. They were like “I thought it was bigger because you use more salt than pepper!” The logic was sound I guess 🤷

A local historical museum sells something they say was a common table seasoning in this area in the 18th-19th C - known as "kitchen pepper", their version is a mix of ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, "Jamaican pepper" (not clear it's red pepper), cinnamon, & nutmeg. Particularly good in broth soups.
