Recipe Booklet, "Jr. Edition No. 15-5, Made Dishes Salads and Savories with French's Cream Salad Mustard," circa 1926

Summary

In 1904, the R.T. French Company introduced its Cream Salad Mustard. Prior to this, mustard was stone ground, thick, and often grainy, but French's new processed condiment was mild in flavor and easy to spread. It soon became a staple in American ballparks, where hot dogs were common fare. This recipe booklet offered additional uses, making it a favorite condiment in home kitchens as well.
