| Today's condiment is Mustard! |

"Basil pesto mustard and merlot chocolate mustard. Lemon pepper mustard and bourbon molasses mustard.
Curried apricot.
Martini.
Key lime macadamia mustard.
Mustard from Azerbijian, and mustard from Zimbabwe.
It's all here, lovingly displayed, meticulously catalogued, at the Mount Horeb Mustard Museum, a shrine to the
pungent condiment that- according to curator Barry Levenson- goes perfectly with everything from hot dogs to
creme brulee.
...The museum displays mustard remedies, mustard ads, and antique mustard pots. The chief draw, however, is
the wall lined with mustards arranged alphbetically by origin- the 38 from New Zealand wedged between the 2 from
Nepal and the 6 from Norway."
I'm exerpting this from an article in the Friday edition of the
L.A. Times which caught my eye. I love a good mustard and never knew
there were so many out there. This place is now on my 'must visit' list.
I can visit my brother in Madison at the same time. He'd love this place.
This next segment should interest many Ufies.
"...In retrospect, it might have been more practical, Levenson says, to set up his homage to
"Shakespeare's favorite condiment" in a more lively hub of tourism. But as it turns out, this
funky community of 4000 was a perfect match. Mount Horeb. About half an hour drive from
Madison (Wisconsin, USA) is not your typical Midwestern farm town. There's a thriving Wiccan
community.(!) A dozen shops in town sell crafts and crystals. And the
business district is dubbed "The Trollway" because it?s lined with little wooden trolls. The museum
beckons passing tourists with 7700 square feet of what Levenson calls "the
condiment of good taste and good breeding." " |
