My non-native guesswork probably would have ended up with "clogged
nose" or something.  ;-)

Ah, that reminds me of the mustard you get at the Vorderer Sternen at
the Bellevue tram station in Zürich.  It's delicious in a slightly
masochistic way unless you happen to exhale through your nose while
eating it, in which case it leaves a smoldering gaping hole in your face
where your nose used to be.

As for the best mustard I know, that would have to be Thommy's
"à l'Ancienne", which they gave out as free samples in tiny glass jars
a while ago, but which I've never found anywhere since.  It's sweetish
and wonderfully grainy.  ::sigh::

And to think that all my langs lack a word for mustard...  ;-)
