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 Also giggles from France! 🤭

@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.

More NZ signs that are extremely honest
@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
