Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:
-
Maybe I am just really tired (ok yeah I'm definitely really tired) but learning that the options for mustard in a NZ grocery store are "hot English" or "mild American" made me giggle uncontrollably in the middle of a grocery store aisle
@sundogplanets New York style mustard is mild? I think not.
New York mustard, last I remember it, was Gulden's brown mustard with horseradish. You put it on your hot dog or pretzel from the cart on the street and you can *taste* it.
Midwestern or California mustard is the yellow tasteless American stuff.

Sooo… “Mustard” vs. “Turmeric coloured vinegar paste”?

More NZ signs that are extremely honest
@sundogplanets By the time you've read that last one it's probably too late.

@sundogplanets Us English are certainly hot.

@sundogplanets
Exhaustion really does make the simplest things incredibly funny.
“Hot English” and “Mild American” sound more like personality types than mustard!
Hello my friend Sam, I’m Mohammed from Gaza. I trust you, and your followers trust you as well. Could you please help me by sharing or reposting my pinned post?

First glance at the image, I thought it said 'Not English'.

@sundogplanets Where is the winy mustard from France, NZ?!?
@HannaEsmeralda_ @sundogplanets We have a few different brands of “Dijon” mustard in most shops as well

@sundogplanets The Heinz is in the "hot dog/yellow mustard" category here in the US and would be sitting on the shelf next to different brands of "Spicy Brown", "Dijon", "Stone Ground", "deli", etc., alongside boutique brands with all sorts of weird flavorings.
Coleman's is usually available for people who want that "hot English" taste. As far as I remember, the "hot" comes from horse radish, which would be an unwelcome surprise to most Americans.

@sundogplanets Try Pak'N'Save or Woolies rather than New World. There are more options out there.

@sundogplanets Napier definitely does not muck around with earthquake prep. There's a reason all the art deco is there.

@chrismarquardt @sundogplanets And I thought kiwis had a very sensitive capacity for smells and taste, detecting earthworms in the soil (sorry, misunderstanding is often more interesting
