Three biggest surprises in Europe
We asked our visiting Mexican students. The answer was:
1. In Germany, the mustard.
2. In Italy, the cover charge in restaurants.
3. In London, traffic from the right.

It is generally considered a mild mustard, particularly when compared to
English mustard. A German friend of mine, not long in England, was asked to
help prepare ham sandwiches for a picnic. She put as much English mustard on
as she would have had it been German mustard, rendering them completely
inedible.

Only partly true:

My favorite strong mustard is still the French "Maille Moutarde Fine de
Dijon au Miel". The strenth combined with the sweetness of the honey -
just delicious.

There are lots of local / regional mustard producers in Germany with all
kinds of mustard. Haendlmaier produces an awful bavarian paste.
I like most a strong honey-fig-mustard from our local manufacturer, great.

Correct.
To all those who replied wrt mustard, the brand in question is none
other than the Düsseldorfer Löwensenf, one of the world's finest
mustards. Replies praising Belgian, French or bavarian mustard will be
disregarded as displaying ignorance of the Düsseldorf brand.
