TIDBITS® SPREADS A LITTLE
MUSTARD by Kathy Wolfe
August 1 is National Mustard Day, and no better time for Tidbits to examine the particulars on this favorite condiment. • The word “mustard” actually means two things – it refers to the actual spice itself as well as to the concoction made from the tiny seeds of the plant. The seeds measure between 1 and 2 mm, about 1/8 inch in diameter. There are three different kinds of mustard plants – black mustard, brown Indian mustard, and white or yellow mustard. The seeds are ground, cracked, or left whole, then mixed with salt, water, lemon juice, or vinegar, along with some flavorings and spices that give the paste a sweet or spicy taste. It doesn’t become an aromatic substance until the 212 North 4th Street • Bismarck, ND 58501 seeds are cracked and mixed with liquid.

Their blend consisted of ground seed mixed with unfermented grape juice and spices. The juice was known as “must,” and when mixed with the seeds, it became “burning must,” or mustum ardens, which was shortened to mustard. They added caraway, coriander, dill, celery, thyme, oregano, honey, vinegar, and oil.

• To the Greeks, mustard was considered a medicinal item long before its use with food. The writings of Hippocrates recommended mustard paste as a remedy for muscle aches, toothaches, to help clear sinuses, and increase blood circulation. French monks also used it to treat wounds.

• The Bible’s New Testament books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke all feature the Parable of the Mustard Seed, used by Jesus as a symbol of the Kingdom of God starting from a tiny beginning and growing quickly into something very large. Jesus was referencing the fact that the mustard seed is the smallest seed that his listeners planted in the ground, one which grew to 20 feet (6.1 m) in just a few years. He also used the seed in relation to a person’s faith, saying, “…if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move.”

• Every bit of the mustard plant is edible, from the leaves (known as mustard greens) to the stems to the seeds. Just one acre of mustard produces one ton of seed, which in turn produces 1,940 lbs. (880 kg) of mustard flour, which is turned into 10,490 lbs. (4,758 kg.) of wet mustard, which can produce 47,600 jars of mustard. There are about 100,000 seeds in one pound (0.45 kg) of yellow mustard seeds. • Canada grows more mustard than any other country in the world. The tiny country of Nepal is second, and other growers include Hungary, Great Britain, and India. • Of the more than 700 million pounds (317,514,659 kg) of mustard eaten around the world every year, Americans are the greatest consumers. In Yankee Stadium alone, in one season of baseball, more than 1,600 gallons are consumed, and that’s not even counting the 2,000,000 little individual packets! • The most familiar type of mustard is yellow, a mixture of yellow mustard seed (the mildest of all types), vinegar, water, turmeric, salt, cloves, and coriander. It’s the turmeric that gives the mustard its bright yellow color. Spicy brown mustard uses much the same ingredients, but the brown seed gives the paste a much more pungent flavor. Hot mustard uses brown or Indian seeds, and adds allspice, tarragon, and other seasonings.

MUSTARD (continued):
• Dijon mustard originated in Dijon, France, and blends brown mustard seed, vinegar, water, salt, and tarragon. The addition of white wine to the mix is what gives this smooth-textured mustard its distinctive taste. In 1855, Maurice Grey was producing an award-winning Dijon mustard and had invented a machine that increased the speed of projection. However, he lacked the finances to make it successful. Another Dijon mustard maker Auguste Poupon provided the funds, and the pair manufactured the first Grey Poupon mustard in Dijon in 1866. • Grey Poupon gained great popularity in the 1980s when a TV commercial informed the public that “one can enjoy the finer things of life with white wine mustard” without paying high prices. The ad featured a Rolls Royce pulling up next to another Rolls Royce, and one passenger asking the other, “Pardon me, would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?” to which the other replied, “But, of course!” • Beer mustard is a popular item in America’s Midwest, a blend that substitutes beer for the vinegar. • Brothers George and Francis French debuted their “Cream Salad Brand” mustard at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair with resounding success. Twenty million people, about 25% of the U.S. population at that time, sampled the new condiment over the course of the exhibition. Afterward, it could be purchased for 10 cents per 9-oz. jar, which came with a little wooden paddle for serving. French’s began using the trademark red French’s pennant in their advertising in 1921. Within a few years, annual sales skyrocketed to $5.3 million. Although the brothers sold their business in 1926, the name has carried on into the 21st century. • Mustard also has its place in folklore. German legend advises a bride to sew mustard seeds into the hem of her wedding dress, which will guarantee her dominance of the household. In Denmark and India, there is a custom of spreading mustard seeds around the outside of a home, which is said to keep out evil spirits.

You may not recognize the name of Alan Shugart, but you most likely reap the benefits of his invention every single day. Let’s take a look at the inventor of the floppy disk, something that revolutionized the storage of computer data.
Deborah J. Carpenter
ALAN SHUGART
• With a brand-new degree in engineering physics from the University of Redlands, Alan Shugart started work at IBM in San Jose, California, the day after he graduated in 1951 at age 21. His first position was a field service engineer repairing punch card accounting machines. • Shugart rose quickly through the ranks at IBM and was transferred to their research laboratory. In 1955, he and his team were responsible for developing the first disk drive, named the IBM RAMAC, able to store five million characters of data. It was released commercially in 1959. • In 1969, Shugart developed the floppy disk, an 8-inch flexible plastic disk coated with magnetic iron oxide. The first “memory disk,” as it was called, held 100 KBs of data and provided a method of transferring data from computer to computer. • Shugart left IBM for Memorex in 1969, taking several IBM engineers along with him. He stayed with that company until 1972, when he launched his own business, Shugart Associates, that would perfect a lower-cost, mass-produced floppy disk. Two years later, after a dispute with the company’s board, he resigned. • In 1976, Shugart developed the smaller 5.25” disk drive and diskette, able to store up to 1.2 MB of data. He and a partner, a former co-worker from Memorex, started up Seagate Technology in 1979, with the goal of producing hard disk drives for the rapidly-growing personal computer market.

by Samantha Weaver • It was ancient Chinese military strategist and philosopher Sun Tzu who made the following sage observation: “Opportunities multiply as they are seized.” • It’s been reported that putting earmuffs on a homing pigeon will keep it from wandering off. Tiny earmuffs, I imagine. • Have you ever heard of pink turtle-head, creeping Charley, scarlet monkey, lady’s ear drops, painted tongue, false dragonhead or the beefsteak plant? If you’re a horticulturist you may have; they’re all names of flowers. • The ferret, a domesticated relative of the weasel, gets its name from the Latin word for “little thief.” • If you’re a fan of the classic film “Casablanca,” you know that actors Claude Rains and Sydney Greenstreet portrayed the characters Renault and Ferrari. You might not be aware, however, that those characters’ names also are the names of two leading European auto manufacturers. • Until 1928, women who wanted to swim at the beach in Atlantic City were required to wear stockings. • Noted American composer and conductor John Phillip Sousa started out as an apprentice in the U.S. Marine Corps band at the tender age of 13. • Those who study such things say that among all prison inmates convicted of violent crimes, murderers are the ones least likely to have tattoos. • It caused a bit of a scandal in the art world when a papercutting of a sailboat by famed French artist Henri Matisse hung upside-down in New York’s Museum of Modern Art for more than a month. It seems that in the artwork, the water’s reflection of the boat was mistaken for the boat itself, causing the mishap. • When the tide changes in San Francisco Bay, fully one-sixth of the water is moved in or out. *** Thought for the Day: “When the mind is full of lust, the heart is full of lies.” -- Scottish proverb (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

ALAN SHUGART (continued)
• Seagate Technology grew to be the world’s largest producer of disk drives. • Shugart expanded his horizons in 1987 by opening Fandango, a popular five-star restaurant on California’s Monterey Peninsula. His partner was a French-born chef whose family had operated a restaurant in Provence, France, since 1737. Shugart wrote a book about the process in Fandango: The Story of Two Guys Who Wanted to Own a Restaurant, published in 1993. • As a clever way of protesting against the country’s major political parties, in 1996, Shugart entered the name of his Bernese Mountain on the ballot as a candidate for Congress. He also founded a political action committee aimed at getting citizens more involved in the political process. Shugart recorded his experiences about the dog’s unsuccessful Congressional campaign in the book Ernest Goes to Washington (Well, Not Exactly). • In 1998, when Shugart was 68 years old, the board of directors of Seagate Technology forced their founder to resign, claiming he was becoming “slow.” • Four years after leaving Seagate, Shugart published his autobiography, Al: The Wit and Wisdom of Alan Shugart. He died in 2006 at the age of 76.
• On July 31, 1916, future racing legend Louise Smith is born in Barnesville, Georgia. In the mid-1940s, racing promoter Bill France was looking for a female driver as a way to attract spectators and recruited Smith, who was famous for outrunning law enforcement on the local roads. • On Aug. 2, 1923, President Warren G. Harding dies of a stroke. Harding, 58, was returning from a presidential tour, a journey some believed he had embarked on to escape corruption rumors circulating in Washington. • On July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis is torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the Pacific and sinks within minutes in sharkinfested waters. Of the 1,196 men on board, an estimated 900 made it into the water and just 317 survived to be rescued four days later. • On July 29, 1958, Congress passes legislation establishing the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA was created in response to the Soviet Union’s launch of the first satellite, Sputnik I. • On Aug. 1, 1961, the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas opens. The park was the first to feature a log flume and a 360-degree looping roller coaster. A day at Six Flags cost $2.75 for an adult. • On July 28, 1978, “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” a movie spoof about 1960s college fraternities, starring John Belushi, opens in U.S. theaters. “Animal House” became a box-office hit and part of pop-culture history. • On July 27, 1981, Adam John Walsh, age 6, is abducted from a mall in Hollywood, Florida, and later found murdered. In the aftermath of the crime, Adam’s father, John Walsh, became a leading victims-rights activist and host of the long-running TV show “America’s Most Wanted.” (c) 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

KETCHUP No matter how you spell it, ketchup is one of the world’s favorite condiments. Most labels today are spelled either “ketchup” or “catsup,” but over the years, other manufacturers have used catsip, cotsup, katshoup, cackchop, kotpock, and cutchpuck, among others. • Ketchup had its beginnings in Asia, originally as a spicy fish sauce made of anchovies, mushrooms, walnuts, and kidney beans, and named ke-tsiap. British sailors brought the concoction home in the 1600s and it became known as catchup. The first English version of ketchup was published in a 1727 cookbook, calling for anchovies, shallots, white wine vinegar, white wine, mace, ginger, and cloves. Tomatoes weren’t added to the mix until the late 1700s. The entry in the 1913 Webster’s Dictionary defines “catchup” as a “table sauce made from mushrooms, tomatoes, and walnuts.” • The average person consumes about three bottles of ketchup every year. About 97% of American homes have a bottle of ketchup in their refrigerator. It takes 4 tablespoons of ketchup to equal the nutritional value of one medium tomato.
www.bismarcktidbits.com
• Most of the world’s ketchup is manufactured by Heinz, Hunts, and DelMonte. Heinz introduced its tomato ketchup in 1876. Today, Heinz sells more than 650 million bottles of ketchup and about 11 billion individual packets every year. They purchase about 2 million tons of tomatoes every year to produce their blend. However, ketchup wasn’t Heinz’ first product. The company had been selling bottled horseradish for seven years before introducing ketchup. Continued on the next page!

www.Goldmark.com EDITOR’S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of July 27, 2015. PICKS OF THE WEEK Runoff (R) -- Simple country living isn’t so picture-perfect for the Freeman family. Their farm is suffocating, a big agro-business has its hands around their throats and poisonous chemicals in their lungs. While finances could destroy the farm, wife and mother Betty (Joanne Kelly) has an opportunity to keep things afloat by accepting a job illegally dumping chemicals into the town creek. While the drama plays out realistically in the beautiful setting, it’s made clear that toxic chemicals lurk in every aspect of their lives. While the action feels true and grounded, writer/ director (and former biochemist) Kimberly Levin effectively punctuates the story with points related to pollution, family, health care and business -- all without preaching to the audience.
White God (R) -- Fed up with their inhumane treatment, all of the dogs begin an uprising. Led by a loyal mutt who was abandoned by its owners, this dog army is surprisingly effective and a real threat to two-legged civilization. Thirteen-yearold Lilli (Zsofia Psotta) is forced to give up her dog, Hagen, because the law hates mixed-breed dogs. Their separation is heartbreaking. When they meet again, they’re on opposite sides of a war. (Important note: This is a totally serious and emotional live-action movie where the dogs don’t talk.) Hungarian director Kornel Mundruczo can get an amazing performance out of a canine. I feel like I also should praise the dog-actor, but does he know he’s acting? He’s just a dog doing dog stuff. Some movies use space-age motion-capture technology to make their animal-characters do all the right emotive stuff. This movie gets it right with just a really good dog. Comet (R) -- Dell and Kimberly (Justin Long and Emmy Rossum) are destined for each other, in a way ... or several ways. This ambitiously structured love story follows a semi-cute couple through their first flirtations to breakups and getting back together. Throughout the many jumps in time, there are speeches and anxieties about the nature of love. Then we see the same
two people again, but experiencing a different side of love in a parallel universe where they are a little different, but still romantically entangled. The whole thing might work if it was anchored by powerful screen-couple chemistry, but it’s not. 3 Hearts (PG-13) -- This French triangular drama takes a pretty foreboding look at a story of star-crossed love. Marc and Sophie (Benoit Poelvoorde and Charlotte Gainsbourg) have an instant connection when they accidentally meet on the streets of a provincial town in France. They make a date to meet again, but circumstances intervene and they go their separate ways. Later, Marc marries a swell gal named Sylvie (Chiara Mastroianni), and then learns that Sylvie is sister to Sophie, the one who got away. Harsh tones and meaningful glances ensue.

• Ever wonder how fast Heinz ketchup flows from the bottle? Its speed is about 0.028 mph (0.045 km/hr), which translates to about 0.5 inch (1.3 cm) per second. That’s about the same speed as a typical garden snail. If you want your ketchup to come out faster, put a drinking straw down to the bottom of the bottle. This will allow airflow to the bottom and make the ketchup flow more easily. • In 1975, Heinz featured the Carly Simon hit “Anticipation” in their television advertising, boasting about “the taste that’s worth the wait.” In 1983, Heinz made it easier by introducing the plastic squeezable bottle. It wasn’t until 2002 that the packaging featured the upside-down plastic bottle.

• Know why ketchup tastes so good? It’s 25% sugar! It’s also high in salt, with just one teaspoon containing about 10% of the maximum daily required amount of sodium. The good news is that ketchup is a good source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been shown to help prevent prostate and colon cancers. • Ketchup isn’t just for your hot dog. Due to its acidity from tomatoes and vinegar, it’s an inexpensive cleaner of copper and bronze. Coat tarnished pots and pans, lamps, or jewelry with ketchup, let it stand for 10 minutes, and rinse it off. Although ketchup can also shine up stainless steel sinks and silverware, it can ruin silverware if it’s left on for too long. Rinse it off after just 10 minutes. Ketchup can also restore blonde hair that has turned green from too much exposure to chlorine. • Although folks love ketchup on just about anything, surveys indicate that it ranks third in popularity among condiments, with mayonnaise and salsa edging it out.
