NATIONAL MUSTARD DAY
(1st Saturday in August)Celebrate One of America’s Oldest Traditions in a New Way on National Mustard DayRecipes below
French’s Mustard has helped bring food, family and fun together, making today’s meals tomorrow’s memories ever since it first introduced its Classic Yellow Mustard in 1904 at the St. Louis World’s Fair. This year, put a twist on the traditional favorite in honor of National Mustard Day by using a bit of French’s to add more flavor to your favorite every day recipes. While mustard remains the most popular condiment for hot dogs, it’s a cooking secret that many home chefs are just now starting to share. So whether you prefer Classic Yellow, Spicy Brown, Dijon, Horseradish, Honey or Honey Dijon, French’s has a flavor that will take your family favorite recipe from ordinary to extraordinary. In addition, with a brand new museum designed to celebrate this flavorful favorite, why not take a summer road trip to the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin ( www.mustardmuseum.com ), just steps from downtown Madison, Wisconsin’s 2nd largest city. On Saturday, August 6th, 2011, visit Mustard’s new “home” and experience a fun-filled day for the entire family at the annual festival that has made mustard an integral part of celebrating summer across America. “While most of us recognize mustard for its popularity as a condiment used on hot dogs, burgers and sandwiches, mustard is about so much more,” says Barry Levenson, Curator at the National Mustard Museum. “It’s the versatility of French’s mustard that also makes it ideal for adding a boost of flavor to everyday recipes.” This year’s visitors can expect a fun-filled day for the entire family when National Mustard Day kicks- off at 10 a.m. with free hot dogs, live music, games, mustard samples and more. Festivities continue all day until 4 p.m.
