First ever mustard experience

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
