Americans Left Horrified By – Disgusting English Mustard

 

One-star reviews have been subject to mockery on Twitter/X as members of the British public react to those across the pond who tried Colman's Mustard. 

The less-than favourable reviews are dubbed a "new favourite genre" by a viral post on social media, which collected the best of the American responses to mustard.

Some reviews urged the tangy sauce to "come with a warning label" then one user claimed it "has an actual taste of something other than corn syrup".

A screenshot of one outraged American read: "Needs to come with a warning label! The regular amount (a thin line down each hot dog) I normally would use was applied. The taste was a shock to my system and immediately burned my throat, nose, and my entire head! My nose and eyes started running and I couldn't get the burning sensation out of my nose/throat. I'm not a fan and will be tossing."

Other reviews read with similar hatred for the condiment.

Another outraged individual added: "It’s disgusting! It says English mustard, I should have known... lol. I guess if you like Dijon or weird mustard you may like this but I think it's nasty. [sic]."

A third review said its taste was so harsh they simple "couldn't handle" it.

Brits have taken issue with the harsh reviews of the classic condiment and put it down to the strange palettes of those overseas.

One wrote: "Oh there’s a whole load of TikTok’s showing this. Some of them really like it though, after the initial shock."

Another user added: "I mean, I couldn't handle it until I was five. Then I kind of got addicted to it, ham and mustard sandwiches almost every day throughout primary school."

Others have hit out at American mustard for not containing any of the ingredients needed to make up the classic sandwich addition.

"American mustard contains no mustard," one user wrote.

Another joked: "English mustard is the only mustard, everything else is just custard."
