Colman's Mustard, 3.53 Ounce (Pack of 6) (Grocery)

   You can keep your spicy, deli-style, French, dijon, honey, pomegranite, yellowy mustards. I want my mustard the way mustard was supposed to be--hot. It's supposed to clear the nostrils when you've got a cold; it's supposed to have a certain sensation as the vapors rise through the nasal membranes and spread to the eyes, the ears, and the rest of the face. And I've been sorely disappointed with many mustards that claimed to be three alarm, hot, spicy, or all three and didn't even ring my bell a tiny-teeny.But then I discovered this little yellow heat in an unassuming bottle. Ahhhhhh! My search had ended. Mustard is as mustard does--or something like that. It seems to activate on ham and bread. A gentle aroma becomes more pungent as the mustard hits the taste buds on your tongue and in your mouth. That's when it's gustatory brilliance takes over making the ham or cheese come alive with flavor. Colman's is the way mustard was intended, to awaken the senses and jolt the...Read more

   If you like mustard, real mustard, and are offended at the plain yellow stuff made by French's...this is the real deal. I first discovered Colman's at one of my local haunts, The Cat & Fiddle, in Hollywood. I usually get something or other to eat with my Bass Ale and the waiter was kind enough to drop off a bottle of Colman's one fine Saturday afternoon. My culinary life (and nostrils) were forever altered that day. There is no other mustard quite like this stuff. It has a delicious mustard flavor coupled with a very smokey taste. It really can't be described properly with mere words. I was lucky enough to be in London last Spring, and I brought home a couple of large jars of this stuff. However, it's damned expensive here in the states. Amazon has the best on-line price by far. If you haven't tried it yet, go to your local British style pub or restaurant and give it a go, and be prepared for the 'kick'. All other mustards pale in comparison with this legendary British...Read more

My in-laws are from the Norfolk County, England, which is also the home of Coleman's mustard. And, the Coleman's jar is on the table EVERY meal. My father in law practically reignited the American Revolution in Boston one day when he could not get any english mustard with his eggs. It took the entire family to explain to him that he was not in England, and it is no surprise that he will have a tough time getting english mustard.Anyway, about the mustard:It is smooth, yellow, and just looking at it, one could assume flavorless. They would be WRONG! This mustard has KICK. It has a spicy undertone that on occasion will rise up and clear out the sinuses. Try it on a turkey sandwich, and you will never go back to mayo. Try it on hot italian sausage, try it on eggs, try it on chicken, asparagus, fries, just try it.
