I was on an Aeroflot flight Shannon to Miami and this man was being obnoxious to a group of Russian school children en route to Santiago Chile from Moscow, like ignoring their silent desire to use the bathroom whilst he was pontificating to some ladies, the Stewardess asked him if he would like a sandwich "yes I would with loads of MUSTARD" well he must never heard of Mr Colman and wolfed into this non Dijon and did we enjoy watching smoke come out his ears!!

When I was a little kid my mum's best friend used to put it on my tongue whenever I said a curse or stuck out my tongue

.

Just stumbled accross this thread, I had no idea it was such a common form of torture - thought I was alone in my agony - we should set up a mustard torture victims group!

Got reintroduced via French Wholegrain Dijon mustard as an adult, way superior to that Coleman's English, which I will have an aversion to for the rest of my life! Do Coleman's know their product was/is used as a widespread form of torture?

My old man used to use it as a deterrent to stop us stealing his sandwiches when we were kids....then I reached my teens and discovered it was friggin' delicious!

my childhood experience of coleman's mustard has scarred me for life...as a child my mother used it when I said bad language but the worst part was I must have been quite small because I could not reach the tap of the kitchen sink so I used to run around wailing with my tongue hanging out....today, close to 40 I still refuse to have mustard anywhere near my food and it must be true that opposites attract because my husband eats the stuff like it's going out of fashion..mustard sandwiches are his favourite...I have used a small bit of dijon as part of a Jamie Oliver homemade burger recipe but did not enjoy the meal as I spent the whole time having flashbacks of a searingly hot tongue and running around like a headless chicken with my mother telling me not to use such foul language in our home!!!!

My Grandad introduced me to Colman's powdered mustard, made up to a pungent, firey extra for boiled ham when I was a little 'un. Too powerful for me then, when I was twenty I started adding the Colman's English to my hang sangwidges, and haven't looked back since.

Started on Coleman's. Nasty crap. Dijon is far better.

The Hill Billy · 22-10-2017 9:21pm

You are comparing apples with oranges. Colman's is English mustard (& a fine example of it too), whereas Dijon is a French mustard which is usually milder & not as pungent.

Used to hate the stuff and actively avoid it. Every once in a while it would be put on without my request when I'm buying a hot from a food van before a match etc and annoyed as I would be, I'd be hungry so I'd get rid of as much of it as possible and then eat what's left. Little did I know I was spooning off yellow gold.

Anyway, I started progressively craving the stuff and eventually bought my first bottle of French's yellow mustard in my late 20's about 2 or 3 years back. I have since graduated to Coleman's English Mustard and i'm convinced it's the condiment equivalent of crack cocaine. It has legitimately replaced butter for sandwiches in my house and I'd pretty much eat it with any sort of meat.

Still keep a bottle of French's Yellow Mustard for the odd hot dog though - that wouldn't taste right with anything else. Don't bother with Dijon, it has far too much manners about it to really be considered a Mustard.

When you start dipping your finger in the Jar for a taste you will be at a good level

There's a mustard forum? Mind blown.

Wasabi elevates a cheese sandwich.

1st reaĺ experience with mustard was in the States. Now I love it on ham sandwiches , with sausage rolled in bread like a hotdog

beertons · 04-03-2024 2:15pm

Never had it on a burger. But that's what I have Sirachi for.

Late for me, I was in Germany on work experience for college. My parents had a jar of Colemans for years, but barely used it.

Anyway, I was out with some workmates in Munich and one of them opens up a sachet of Dijon for their chips, and I was like MUSTARD WITH CHIPS, WHAAAAT???!!

…Lads, I was converted, that was my moment 😁
