Hold the Ketchup

We have good friends who live in Wisconsin and we've been there to visit a couple of times (although it's been too long since our last trip).  Like most places, Wisconsin seems to have a number of interesting and, dare I say, strange, places to visit.

We've been to a great aviation center and museum in Oshkosh--worth the visit even if you aren't too much into flying.  And we were treated to a part interesting, part creepy trip to the Clown Hall of Fame and Research Center in Delavan.  (I'm not quite sure what kind of research is going on there--how to make trick flowers squirt water farther?)

          National Mustard Museum
But next time we're there, we'll have to take a drive to Middleton.  Here you'll find the National Mustard Museum, founded by former attorney, Barry Levenson.  Yellow and brown, spicy and mild, foreign and domestic--you name the mustard and you'll find it here.  The museum also houses famed mustard college, Poupon U (yes, that's a joke). 

Read more about Levenson and what drove him to create the museum in a feature by NPR in honor of National Mustard Day (Aug. 7). 

For some reason, I have a hankerin' for a soft pretzel....
