True or false, only people over the age of 25 like or can even tolerate mustard (European, work)

My 67 year old wife and her 64 year old sister cannot stand mustard. Lifelong distaste. They also can't stand cucumbers. So it's not necessarily an acquired taste. You either like it or you don't.

Personally, I think a hot dog needs mustard. They will put catsup on a hot dog (which is ok if that's what they like) or a burger. I only use catsup for fries myself.

For me, horseradish was the acquired taste, but I must have it with my prime!

Dipping pumpernickel pretzels in a grainy mustard is the best.

I've read that tastes over the generations have shifted from tolerance to bitter foods more and more toward sweeter. And that foods like corn and tomatoes have hybrids that are much less bitter than the "heirlooms".

Growing up in northern Illinois, treks into Wisconsin were always fun, because of the cheese houses, and this!

definitely an individual thing, although I will concede that younger kids are less likely to want it on a sandwich or hot dog. But most of them are ok eating it when used in various dishes - included deviled eggs. My own kid won't eat them, but he doesn't like eggs in general. When I take a giant batch of deviled eggs to a pot luck, they get devoured by all ages.

I really like the Pommery Moutarde De Meaux and Colman's.

On the contrary it goes to the very essence of civilization and its discontents.

My kids love mustard. They'll use it on sandwiches or to dip food into, or eat it in deviled eggs, potato salad, mac and cheese, etc.

I've ALWAYS liked mustard, and vinegar-based foods, even as a kid. Someone told me my pH was off when I was little, I was eating so many marinated artichoke hearts at a buffet.

It's MAYO I didn't start liking until my late 30s/early 40s.

My snack as a kid was yellow mustard on a slice of bread. My brother preferred ketchup. Guess who had more teeth problems? I never was much for sweets.
