German mustard

Sharp yellow spread

German mustard is a style of mustard typically darker and milder than bright yellow American mustard, often made with coarsely ground seeds and a balance of sweet and tangy flavors.

Regional varieties range from the sharp Düsseldorf style to the sweeter Bavarian type served with pretzels and sausages: I prefer German mustard on my bratwurst.
