I don't recall ever having it when I have been in Germany, but then maybe I didn't go to the right Wurst stands :D :D

Or in the "wrong" area. Mustard can be a very divisive thing, with many regional varieties.

Me, I'm a Currywurst-girl.

I have to admit to having a mustard collection. I even made some of my own many moons ago. Does anyone remember Tracklements? They started off in Urchfont where we live. One of my faves is tarragon mustard or dill. Ian in France brought me some purple mustard I have yet to open it. Vintage me thinks......

I used to love Gordon’s green peppercorn mustard. I think Gordon’s still exists, other than as a brand of gin, but they don’t do the mustard anymore. I ought to make my own more often.

We have some pots of Riesling mustard, bought in Germany from an artisanal guy who ran a snack bar on the Mosel. It’s very mild and goes well with smoked ham.

I loved the Dusseldorf mustard which we used to get when T worked there. Also had some delicious mustard from Ghent last year. Bought here

I am very glad that the Maille shop has reopened in Paris. I bought some very nice rosemary honey mustard there this year. It's near-impossible to get even the less exotically flavoured ones other than honey mustard in supermarkets in Basse Normandie now.

What are these called in UK-speak please, I have been asked to get some for a visitor, after an on-line search they look very like macaroni to me. Thanks for any guidance/clues;
small pasta called coquilettes here

It looks as if they are called coquillettes!

But I think small elbow macaroni would work as a sub

Given the usual standard of my spelling I got very close.

Thanks Stokey, that's what I thought, nice to have it confirmed, one less worry. I should have asked here first.
