On the other hand, if your reference for mustard intensity is American mustard, then Dijon will come as a shock.
Watching Europeans (incl. Brits) watch Americans put mustard on things is always fun. The eyes go wide, and there's a look of panicked disbelief as you can see them thinking "No, stop, too much!!!"
- TheRealPomax 4y agoAs a Dutchman: there's no such thing as too much mustard. Then again, the same is true for caffeine and licorice.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoLicorice is genuinely toxic in large enough doses. You can poison yourself with it.
- chrisseaton 4y agoLots of things are genuinely toxic in large enough doses, including water, which you can also poison yourself with.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoTo be clear: water poisoning is very, VERY hard compared to mustard, licorice, or caffeine poisoning, because it takes a long time to ingest, and you get plenty of signals from your body that you should stop drinking this much water well before you reach the point where you've severely disrupted homeostasis. Unlike those other three, which you can ingest over a very short period in copious concentrated quantities.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoSame with mustard. And caffeine. Turns out that if you're a human, you can find that limit, have a learning experience, and then stay below it the rest of your life.
- resist_futility 4y agoWould you like some licorice with your salt?
- cardinalfang 4y agoNot too much, don't want to overpower the ammonium chloride.
- TheRealPomax 4y agoNever gonna say no to that offer!
- emmelaich 4y agoYep, watch an American lather English mustard on their hot dog then stand back and watch the fireworks.
