Mustard Correct to the Original Colonel Sanders Fried Chicken Recipe using the Kentucky Fried Chicken Seasoning
There Has been MUCH discussion over the Use of Mustard & Celery in the Original Kentucky Fried Chicken Seasoning.
One needs to Do a review of the Oldest Known information when KFC NEW AGE started Printing Food Tray Liners with Ingredients, which is where KFC Listed Both Mustard and Celery in ALL the Items which USED the Original Seasoning.
Upon review of 5 Different Countries which Franchised into the Corporation and followed there Time Period and when they listed items the Mustard and Celery was Listed.
In personal conversation with ONE of the countless remaining Cooks that Originally were taught by C.H.S. How to make the ORIGINAL recipes which were on the Franchise menus They have indicated information which is Cross References to 1920's Documents they Provided that C.H.S. referenced and left them.
When multiple OLD Original Cooks ALL indicate MUSTARD taste was in the Original K.F.C. BUT was not a kick in the spice sack over tone one needs to listen and follow reason and base of it's use in more then Just the Chicken, C.H.S. used Mustard in many of the Dressing for the Salads. ALL of the OLD COOKS have confirmed that C.H.S. used the TERM Dressing was used for Salad Flavoring. HIS WORDS common used.
C.H.S. always referenced his Days of working Delivering Babies, He was limited to the O.T.C. items Pharmacy had for his use. Mustard Packs were Common used items
In the Time Period from 1900's to even 2022 Mustard and Mustard Seed Varieties are typically still the Second Largest selling and Produced Seed World wide and ONLY second to Black Pepper, in World sales.
In checking the Old Old achieves for import Spice amounts and Use the Top 3 items always Topped the Charts. These 3 have the OVERWHELMING consecutive highest ranking Top 3 positions.
Salt
Peppercorns Black
Mustard Seed
In taking advice from the last Cook who cooked For the staff of the Head K.F.C. in Kentucky and worked over 15 years made a comment Make the Original Recipe Salads and Taste the Dressing. By following this advice and Making ALL the Original Recipes they supplied us for the ORIGINAL K.F.C. side dishes which many can be found in the Older K.F.C. Manuals one learns the Mustard Taste.
Then eating the C.H.S. Sausage Patty he cooked in the Cafeteria's there is a appreciation of the Mustard
Caraway has similar flavor BUT not the depth Mustard has.
The Double Fine Mustard Powder was USED by Butcher as a Binder and Spice Carrier for Sausage in the early 1900's
Caraway Seed Does NOT have to be listed in ANY Listing for a ingredient for ANY RESTURANT use item, Mustard is a mandatory even if its a spec of Mustard Dust the F.D.A. indicated and C.F.I.A.
