Chester, New Jersey, July 2012— Do you know your mustard? At the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, French’s® Mustard introduced its Classic Yellow Mustard. Since then, cookouts have never been the same. While mustard remains the most popular condiment for smearing on hot dogs, it’s a secret cooking ingredient that many home chefs are just now starting to share. On August 4th, for National Mustard Day, celebrate by using a bit of French’s to add more flavor to your favorite everyday recipes, or the recipes provided at the end of this article. Whether you prefer Classic Yellow, Spicy Brown, Dijon, Horseradish, Honey or Honey Dijon, there’s a flavor that will take your family favorite recipe from ordinary to extraordinary.   Did you know there’s even a National Mustard Museum in Middleton, Wisconsin? This year’s visitors can expect a fun-filled day for the entire family when National Mustard Day 2012 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. “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.” If you can’t make it to National Mustard Day, you can celebrate it from afar with these great summer recipes.
