National Mustard Museum? ABSOLUTELY!

In The Beginning Mustard grows wild.
According to Wikipedia, food historians believe it was first cultivated in India around 3,000 B.C.E.Mustard seed is mentioned in the Bible:
The Hebrews used mustard for cooking, and Abraham is said to have served cow tongue with mustard / a delicious combination that can be found today at a good delicatessen.The Greeks used mustard as both a condiment and a medicine:
The mathematician and scientist Pythagoras (570-ca. 490 B.C.E.) prescribed it for scorpion stings and the pioneering physician Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.E.) used it as a medicine and for poultices, a use that continued until recent times as mustard plasters.The Romans brought the mustard seed to Gaul:
Where it was cultivated by monks / it was planted in the vineyards alongside the grapes—and it grew in popularity as a condiment. It was also used to treat war wounds. The seed would be mixed with crayfish powder and spread on lesions or open cuts.
By the 9th century, French monasteries were generating considerable income from mustard sales.
By the 13th century, Parisian merchants included mustard among their daily sauces for sale.
In 1777, the modern history of mustard began when two townsmen, Maurice Grey and Antoine Poupon, founded a company using Grey’s recipe and Poupon’s money.
In 1758, Benjamin Franklin, ambassador to France, have brought mustard to the U.S. upon his return.
In 1814, Jeremiah Colman initiated clever business practices that led to the establishment of Colman’s Mustard of England.
