Apparently the world’s supply of a favorite hot dog condiment doesn’t cut the … err … mustard. And, as a result, we may be looking at an international mustard shortage sooner than we think.
According to Business Insider, a year of poor mustard seed production is the cause of what may result in a lack of mustard on American grocery store shelves in the near future. Experts say you can thank climate change for the large drop in mustard seed production, with Canada (the world’s second largest producer) and France watching the most recent growing season’s yields fall 28 percent and 50 percent, respectively, because of drought and bad weather. As Russia and Ukraine are also large producers of mustard seeds, the ongoing war isn’t helping the importing efforts either.
Before you start practicing eating your favorite summer meals with just ketchup and relish, however, don’t worry. More than likely, U.S. grocery shelves will still have plenty of the condiment to go around. But how much do you like your spicy yellow add-on? If it’s enough to pay more for it, you may want to prepare yourself as price jumps are being felt around the world.
This news comes on the heels of Huy Fong Foods Inc. bracing its customers this past April that it’s suspending production of cult favorite hot sauce Sriracha (the condiment we put on everything) due to a “severe shortage of chili” from the droughts in Mexico — where they’re grown.
Democrats get elected and we can’t even keep mustard on the shelves .
I like sauerkraut on pork ribs ccoked with garlic and some onions and served with mashed potatoes.
Oh yum. Takes me back to when I was a little girl.
I will try that!
Onions, yes! I always add more onions than called for in every recipe. Onions are love☺️
My very first thought....very cool container.
Oh, no...I don’t really care about the mustard, but halting Sriracha production is a disaster!
I grew up eating kraut. I love it.
Unfortunately neither of the women I married liked it and none of the kids developed a taste for it.

Speaking of Wisconsin, Sprecher’s Root Beer Mustard...mmmmmmmm.
“If we do run out of mustard, it will probably be Big Ketchup’s fault.”
I had an epiphany earlier today:
Why not create the top condiment in the world by combining mustard with peppercorns? Bound to make money even if only from the copyright. Could even be named after Biden: “pepptard.”

Thanks!
Worse?
Had a ford Probe GT, dead at 60K!
Had a ford Escape, dead at 110K!
Had a ford Ranger XLT, dead at 80K!
I stopped being a masochist and no longer and will never ever buy another POS Ford!
If it’s a good beef dog, I like to use cocktail sauce because of the horseradish.
Matthew 13:31-32
New International Version
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
Pesto for me is like that. All the ingredients are great by themselves, I just don’t enjoy pesto.
I learned it from Mom and Dad. Mom told me they would buy a small jar of mayo and go to McDonald’s when they were dating.
There was a movie with Bruce Willis long time ago where he said something like that about mayo on a burger and I never caught the reference before. Thanks
