NATIONAL MUSTARD MUSEUM

Located right here in Middleton, Wisconsin, the National Mustard Museum boasts of having more than 5,000 mustards from all 50 states and 70 countries in its collection. It is worth a visit especially if you are looking for something for free. And it is located right next door to the Hubbard Ave. Diner, a good place for some homemade food.

You are welcome to join the National Mustard Day festivities at the museum from 10 am to 4 pm on Sat., August 3, 2013. Games, mustard tasting, and Culver's Frozen Mustard Custard are part of the event.
Even though all mustard is not yellow, the decor of the museum is basically mustard yellow.
I went to Madison to meet the Chung family. Way back about 1980, I had the honor of baptizing Francis. We have not seen each other for 21 years. He and I are pictured with his wife, Peggy, and their daughter, Renee. Their 16 yr. old son, Bartholomew, took the picture.
You're sure to recognize this brand of mustard here in the States.
Black, yellow, and brown mustard seeds are grown in various parts of the world (mostly in Canada).
There are more kinds of containers that you'd ever guess.
Believe it or not, these are all mustards from Wisconsin.
I thought that you'd enjoy seeing me take the picture (check the reflection).

Francis, Peggy, Renee, and Bartholomew watch the informative video.

A whole section of the store area is devoted to objects from Poupon U. Wouldn't you like to be a graduate of Poupon U.?
And finally, a tribute to the reference to mustard in Holy Scripture. The second quote is a reference to the Book of II Condiment 7:12-13 (obviously a spoof).

  1. Interesting, I wonder if there is a ketchup museum here in Pittsburgh.
