Did you know that there was a National Mustard Day? I didn’t until this week. Turns out there is, on August 2. French’s celebrated the day of course, and are continuing the celebration all summer long.

You know who French’s is, right? For more than 100 years, French’s unwavering commitment to delivering irresistible flavor using natural ingredients with nothing artificial period for you and your family to enjoy. Crafted using their own stone ground, #1 grade mustard seeds and a proprietary recipe, that results in a rich, smooth, thick mustard that simply can’t be compared to others.

“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 complementing a variety of different foods.”

National Mustard Day is celebrated annually at the National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin, just steps from downtown Madison, Wisconsin’s 2nd largest city. If you find yourself in the area or taking a road trip, be sure to stop and visit Mustard’s “home”. If you can’t make it to National Mustard Museum in Wisconsin, you can still celebrate National Mustard Day and all summer long with these great summer recipes and for more, log onto www.frenchsfoods.com.

This year, in honor of National Mustard Day, celebrate America’s #1 Mustard brand* by using any one of French’s delicious flavors such as Classic Yellow, Spicy Brown, Dijon, Horseradish, Honey or Honey Dijon, French’s has a flavor that will take your family favorite recipe to a whole new level.
