| | Dressings and Sauces - CELEBRATE NATIONAL MUSTARD DAY - AUGUST 5TH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | National Mustard Day is held annually on the first Saturday in August at the Mustard Museum in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, and in communities across the country. |
 | | No one knows who first used mustard to flavor food, but mustard as we know it, a condiment sauce made from the seed of the mustard plant in combination with some liquid (water, wine, beer, etc.), goes back to the 14th century and perhaps even earlier. |
 | | It is made with white mustard seeds mixed with salt, spices and vinegar, usually with turmeric added to enhance the bright color. |
