点评:The little town of Middleton, Wisconsin has an off the beaten track museum that’s really interesting; The National Mustard Museum!
Started on 1982, the museum is located downtown and houses a collection of over 6,000 mustards from all 50 states and a whopping 70 countries! It’s free admission and it’s a really neat informational place to see different types of mustard seed all the way to a prepared condiment. Plus all the paraphernalia supplies that go along with serving it.
The store has 1,000’s of mustards for sale but thankfully they have them categorized and each country even has its own shelf. They made it fun by having a large tasting station in the rear of the store that has over 100 mustards ready to taste.
We had a lot of fun tasting and settled on a mutatde’ (French) whereby the original recipe dates back to 1760. It’s still sold the same way- in a ceramic jar sealed with wax. Also a Japanese hot mustard and a couple others.
They have an online store which will be great to order gifts and more mustard. It’s a fun place and believe me, the mustards are all amazing!
翻译:威斯康星州米德尔顿小镇有一座引人入胜、人迹罕至的博物馆:国家芥末博物馆!
博物馆始建于1982年,位于市中心,收藏了来自全美50个州和70个国家的6000多种芥末!博物馆免费入场,信息丰富,从芥末籽到成品调味品,应有尽有。此外,还有各种佐餐用具。
这家店出售数千种芥末,值得庆幸的是,他们对这些芥末进行了分类,每个国家甚至都有专门的货架。店后还设有一个大型试吃台,摆放着100多种芥末,让试吃过程更加有趣。
我们品尝得很开心,最后选定了一种法式芥末,其原始配方可以追溯到1760年。它至今仍以同样的方式出售——用蜡封的陶瓷罐。此外,还有日式辣芥末和其他几种芥末。
他们有一家网店,可以很方便地订购礼物和芥末。这是一个有趣的地方,相信我,所有芥末都非常棒!
