Sumerian and Babylonian cuneiform writings, the Hittite code. It is thought to
even older than that. Mustard has been used as a condiment
for thousands of years.
The
Old Testament of the Bible, Israel was often referred to as "the land of
milk and honey." Mead, an alcoholic drink made from honey was called
"nectar of the gods," high praise indeed.

Spaniards in 1600 A.D. found native Mexicans and Central Americans had already
developed beekeeping methods to produce honey.
In
