French mustard

French mustard is a milder, smoother mustard than the sharp yellow American variety or the coarse-ground Dijon.

It typically has a creamy texture and tangy flavor, often sweetened slightly.

The term is used loosely—in Britain it may simply mean any mild prepared mustard, while in the US it often describes a specific brown, tarragon-flavored style: I prefer French mustard on my ham sandwich.
