Hello,

My friend just got back from Germany and she brought me back some mustard. It's the kind in the metal tube (like toothpaste). It's been a LONG time since I studied German and I'm curious as to what it says.

The brand is: Löwenserf

One tube is Green and says "Mittelscharf" (does that mean Mild?) and the other one is Red and says "Extra" (I think I can decifer that one )

Under the ingredients it says:

Frisch germahlene Senfkömer aus den besten Anbaugebeiten der Welt.

I think I recognized the word "Best" in there . Does anyone know what it says? And does anyone know how good Löwenserf brand is? Is it a common mustard or a fancy one?

It's really neat having mustard in a tube. My dad said they used to use tubes like that years ago. Pretty cool.

As you figured out already, the green Löwensenf is medium hot, while the red one is extra hot.

Is it a common mustard or a fancy one?

Not sure what you mean by "fancy", but it is fairly well known. Enjoy!

Edited thanks to Rex note.

but it is fairly well known

From my internet research, I see that it is pretty popular.

Thanks for the translation.

Just a nitpick FYI. That's "freshly ground grains". (Starkes Verbum!)

The brand is common here. It's a good mustard, but I wouldn't say any better than some in the States. There ARE some great mustards over here though. Particularly some of the French mustards. I mean Freedom mustards.

Is the packaging common? The metal tube?

Yes, the packaging is common for most condiments. Mustartd, kecthup, mayo. I don't like, just because it always reminds me of toothpaste.

it always reminds me of toothpaste.

That's what my friend said before she gave it to me. She was like "I can't wait to give you your mustard toothpaste."
