CLOWNING AROUND AT THE MUSTARD MUSEUM

Since 1986 the National Mustard Museum has headquartered itself in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. The National Mustard Museum? Yup.

Everything you wanted to know about mustard is there. Including the warning that no ketchup or mayonnaise allowed.

How about Colonel Mustard? Yup, again. He's there along with a display of St. Louis Cardinal baseball cards from the 1946 World Series connecting baseball, hot dogs, and mustard.

What about Grey Poupon? It's there with tee shirts, magnets, and megaphone. Even a toilet lid is appropriately available for Grey Poupon.

What about tailgate mustards? Of course, and they're available from many college teams.

Well, I'm sure they don't give samples. Wrong. From beer and mustard to peppercorn mustard, they're availble along with Snyder pretzels.

Mustards throughout history, mustards used as poultices, state mustards, a huge display of mustard bottles, and a private collection of mustard containers and servers all adorn the museum and adjoining gift shop.

It's the only one in the world. If you're in the area it's a Must-(ard) place to visit.
