Here in Mustardland we are thankful for so much. Mostly for the many friends we have made over the years through this wild and crazy condiment adventure.
Here’s the burning question: does mustard belong on the Thanksgiving table? Absolutely. A dollop of Daddy Cooks Cranberry Chardonnay Mustard (DDC101) makes your feast even more succulent and enjoyable (and it’s a mustard that’s delicious all year ’round).
As for stuffing the turkey with mustard, the Curator and Mrs. Mustard have been experimenting with the concept. At this point, we can only caution you to first remove the lid from the jar before inserting it into the cavity of the bird.
Speaking of holiday birds, this a picture of a turkey that held up traffic in front of the Mustard Museum back in 2014.
As for the post-Thanksgiving meal activities, enjoy the Curator’s annual literary treat (or travesty):
THE LEFTOVERS
‘Twas the day after turkey
And all through the mansion
We gazed and we wondered
At our bellys’ expansion.
“So much to eat!
Our belts are too tight
But somehow we know
We’ll be hungry tonight.”
So what shall we do
With all of those yummies,
Crammed into the ice box,
Awaiting our tummies?
There’s dressing and drumsticks,
Potatoes and gravy.
There’s so much left over
We could feed the whole navy.
Green beans and muffins,
Salads and soups,
Our Tupperware®’s bulging
With all the food groups.
But how to prepare them,
These leftover dishes?
What can we use
To make them delicious?
Ketchup? Or mayo?
No — those would be yucky.
But we could use mustard —
Now that would be ducky!
There are so many flavors,
And so many styles,
You could line them all up,
They’d go on for miles.
There’s mustard with honey,
Mustard with beer,
Horseradish and garlic,
They all bring good cheer.
There’s cranberry mustard
And mustard with cheeses
With olives with walnuts,
Each one of them pleases.
Hot peppers, black truffles,
Don’t be in a hurry,
There’s mustard with chocolate,
With dill, and with curry.
We know you’ll do fine,
That you can be trusted
To spice your leftovers
With dollops of MUSTARD.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
