    Are mustards in America classified by their colour instead of French, Dijon, English, Blow-Off-The-Top-Of-Your-Head, etc?

      They’re labeled by type; one of those types happens to just be called “yellow.” It’s smooth and vinegary. Good on hot dogs and burgers.

        Lies. The only reason I keep it around is to placate my friends and family who are afraid of real mustards.

      On America we refer to all of those as “fancy mustard”. This yellow abomination is the default.

      French

      English

      Naming them by the country of origin is almost equally odd to me. You literally mentioned Dijon, which is also French. So wtf is French mustard supposed to mean. There’s probably dozens or hundreds of French mustards.

        To make it worse the UK has a weird “French” mustard which has nothing to do with France, its this darker, sweeter, less spicy mustard that Colman’s invented and no longer make but you can still find own brand ones in the supermarket. Actual French mustards are referred to by name.

        English mustard is a thing though.

        Person’s family name was French. Hence the name. Their first factory is in my city.
