Mustard Wars

Ball Park vs. Stadium

This is a debate that perhaps the greatest Cleveland historians may choose to engage, but my purpose is simply to showcase the two greatest mustards known to man. Sports flukes, mistakes on the lake, armpits. . .keep it to yourselves. These gems came straight from Northeastern Ohio, and carry the weight of any champion. Both brown, both spicy, both ridiculously tasty on hot dogs (or anything), yet each does carry it's own formula.

Stadium carries a bit more vinegar, and is a bit watery, so give it a good shake. Stadium also carries a little more punch than its rival, and has a stronger aftertaste. Ball Park, on the other hand, is a bit smoother and easier on the palate and a small hint of sugar helps to mellow its flavor.

It is clear that somewhere, somehow, these formulas were crossed over or attempts to replicate are evident. Either way, I always have both in the fridge. And, every time I eat one, I am reminded of fantastic memories of home. My advice, get both. Then you will have to choose which one to use.
