    Just found this in the cupboard and had a little taste to see if it would suit a sangwich.

    Most disgustingly vile stuff I have ever tasted. It was like mustard flavour nail polish or something. Put me right off the sangwich it did. Flippin horrid crap.

    Whats a nice sweet, mild mustard like what comes on those baked hotdogs in pastry ya get at the deli counter times ?. Thats nice, I like that mustardy flavour but I dont want to risk taste testing another jar of varnish trying to find it.

    I might go for the American style and work my way up to the Dijon. That jar posted by Chuck looks worryingly similar to the stuff I encountered yesterday. Not the same stuff I know but bringing back some bad memories all the same.

    If it isn't out of date then take it to the producer and demand a hamper of mustards as recompense.

    (and a bouquet of cakes).

    Well French's American is a gateway mustard

    Good for the noobs until they graduate onto proper stuff like Coleman's English

    Lakeshore's mustard is lovely. I couldn't imagine it tasting like the OP described. French's is awful stuff, only a bit better than the Heinz stuff you get in the sachets which is vile! I actually like Aldi's bramwell's Dijon mustard. It's quite nice.

    It was Lakeshore and it was horrendous.

    This is the culprit here.

    That stuff is the Nectar of the Gods, I think you need a bit more practice.

    Coleman's is crap. Wholegrain or Dijon ftw.

    Somewhere in the middle?

    OFten products will have "best before 1/1/13" but also stuff like "once opened refrigerate & eat within 4 weeks". This is since many will sterilize the product in the jar, but once opened you have introduced contaminants. I think many people ignore this on stuff like mustard & ketchup, yet might pay attention to instructions on newer type sauces.

    Yeah, somewhere in the middle, some dijons are milder than others. You can 'dilute' strong mustard in mayo.

    To me they are very different products, like tomato ketchup & tomato puree, or beer & whiskey, dairy milk & 99% lindt, each has their place for me.
