August 3: Mustard Inspired Recipes on National Mustard Day
National Mustard Day takes place on the first Saturday in August, which this year falls on the third. The main hub of the celebrations is at the National Mustard Museum over in Wisconsin. Summer is a great time to celebrate the mustard condiment, not least because we'll be slathering it over burgers and steaks, or creating tasty vinaigrettes that have been infused with honey.
This event often involves people thinking outside the box and creating unusual recipes. At the museum, they often create pretzels that have been infused with mustard, and even frozen custard that blends the condiment with salted caramel. As such, celebrating this food holiday is a great idea if you like to take some gastronomy risks on the odd occasion.
If you like to play it safe, why not buy a premium brand of mustard and fire up the barbecue. After all, this condiment can be delicious with some high-quality meat, such as delicious and juicy sausages.
As a plus, mustard makes for beautiful food photography because of its vibrant color, just ask our Dishfolio food bloggers, better yet check out the pictures below!
