This American made the mistake of not treating English mustard with the respect it deserves and it’s eye-wateringly hilarious
Will they ever learn? We recently shared a video of an American trying English mustard for the first time and it ended in tears.
Not every American got the memo, however, as this video from YouTuber JJLA Reacts goes to show.
Thanks to Graeme From IT for sharing the exquisite agony on Twitter.

Every British person watching him load up that mustard is chuckling before he puts it in his mouth. https://t.co/2rLCxBwria

So how do English people use it? Sounds more medicine for a stuffy nose than food.

For references, imagine that Colmans is horseradish or wasabi. It’s the same nasal decongesting punch. https://t.co/YEP7uzarNi

As soon as you see the knife go in a second time, you know it’s going to be good.

My Spanish daughter in law did this with Colman’s mustard at a bbq last weekend despite being warned it’s strong stuff. Nearly had to call the doctor!
