Usually the digestive enzymes stay in one part of the pancreas. But if these enzymes leak into other parts of the pancreas, they can irritate it and cause pain and swelling. This may happen suddenly or over many years. Over time, it can damage and scar the pancreas.
Mustard was made in Dijon with hand-operated grinding mills until the middle of the 19th century, when one of the city's most famous sons, moutardier Maurice Grey, invented a steam-driven machine that could crush the seeds, remove the husks, and grind the remains to a fine powder in one operation.
Dijon was once the capital of the Kingdom of Burgundy, before the region acceded to France. Today, the city is famous for its smooth mustard that can be used either as a condiment or as an ingredient in creamy French sauces. A variety of mustard shops ply their trade in central Dijon, and the Mustard Museum provides an insight into the method of manufacture of the famous condiment. The Dijon Tourist Office (visitdijon.com) organizes English-speaking tours of the city.
