I am from Germany and I want to cook a recipe that has "English mustard" in it. I don't really know the difference between different kinds of mustard.
For example, the mustard I mostly use here in Germany is this one:

It's just called mustard. Is english mustard something different? Is the one I know more of a yellow/ american mustard or something else entirely?

I’m guessing that English mustard would refer to a mustard with more heat and stronger flavour than American (yellow) mustard. The Brits in my family usually mean Colman’s brand when they ask for mustard, and a little goes a long way. And the jar says original English mustard, for whatever that’s worth. I am unfamiliar with the German mustard you linked, however the ingredients on my container are water, mustard flour (21%), sugar, salt, wheat flour, turmeric, citric acid, and xantham gum. Maybe you can compare?
