working in the restaurant business myself, if I wanted to know what something was or how it was made I always asked. The least they can do is tell you no. The answer really surprised me. The red stuff came right out of a ketchup bottle (no, I didn't know what ketchup tastes like, I never eat it), and the hot Chinese mustard was plain old Coleman's mustard powder mixed with water.

 

A couple of days ago, I was searching for something else and came across this. I had to order it, purely out of amusement. It arrived yesterday evening.

I love the lame attempt to mimic Coleman's iconic packaging. The mustard inside looks like it should, but I haven't tasted it yet. Will report back.

I love the lame attempt to mimic Colemans iconic packaging. The mustard inside looks like it should, but I havent tasted it yet. Will report back.
