Stadium Mustard

Stadium Mustard is a type of mustard that is commonly associated with sports stadiums, particularly those in the United States. It is a brown mustard, similar in color and consistency to Dijon mustard, but with a flavor profile that is typically more tangy and robust.

History

The origins of Stadium Mustard can be traced back to the early 20th century, when it was first served at baseball and American football games. The exact recipe and origin of Stadium Mustard are often a subject of debate, with different regions claiming their own unique versions. However, it is generally agreed that the condiment became popular in the Midwest, particularly in the city of Cleveland, Ohio.

Characteristics

Stadium Mustard is characterized by its smooth texture, tangy flavor, and dark brown color. It is typically made from brown mustard seeds, water, vinegar, salt, and various spices. Unlike yellow mustard, which is made from white mustard seeds and turmeric, Stadium Mustard does not contain any sugar, making it less sweet and more savory.

Usage

Stadium Mustard is most commonly used as a condiment for hot dogs, sausages, and other stadium foods. However, it can also be used in a variety of other dishes, including sandwiches, burgers, and even certain types of salads. Its robust flavor makes it a popular choice for those who prefer a more tangy and less sweet mustard.

Varieties

There are several varieties of Stadium Mustard available on the market today. Some of the most popular include the original Cleveland Stadium Mustard, which is made by the Davis Food Company, and Bertman Original Ball Park Mustard, which is made by the Bertman Food Company. Both of these varieties are made in Cleveland and are often associated with the city's sports teams.
