The seasons in the South are less than predictable, but there is one season that gets bigger and better each year...football season. That's right folks, it's time to break out the tents, tables and boundless amounts of food and drink. Each year we always try to find new, innovative recipes for our football get togethers, but there is one essential element that is always included—French's Mustard.

French's Mustard began over 200 years ago when Jeremiah Colman first sold mustard flour in 1814, but it was almost 90 years before the French brothers, Francis and George, introduced their French's Cream Salad (Yellow) mustard at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. It was a new flavorful mustard that was mild compared to the hot and spicy varieties that were common at the time. It came in a 9-ounce jar with wooden paddle for serving and sold for only 10 cents. The hot dog was also introduced at the fair during the same time.

Boy, have we come a long way since then! Mustard is now a staple in nearly every refrigerator and considered one of the most used toppings on sandwhiches, hot dogs and burgers. French's may have made it's name with yellow mustard, but they have much more to offer, including French's French Fried Onions that top the classic green bean casserole that has graced nearly every American's table. In addition, French's offers a variety of mustards from sweet to spicy, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce,  hot sauce, potato sticks and new varieties of their classic French Fried Onions.

So this tailgating season, be sure to wow your friends and family with some of French's Food Company's hundreds of recipes and sauces. With a dedicated team creating savory recipes for every meal, French's is sure to score a touchdown!
