ha! I've just had my own rash ebay purchase delivered today. It was due to drinking rather than blogging though.
I have 2 fabulous cruet sets and I didn't know what the little bowl was for. I think its supposed to be mustard or something. Was mustard used as much as salt and pepper?
I think it is for mustard. Food in the 40s - 70s was so bland you probably needed a ton of the stuff to make it palatable. Plus being of semi-norwich origins I think I will keep mine filled. Good hot colmans mustard!!
ha!
