"Keen: The Mustard Advert that Captivated the Hiker & Camper in 1934" In a world dominated by advertisements, one stood out from the rest - Keen's Mustard. This captivating advert took the hiker and camper community by storm in 1934, leaving them craving for more of its tangy goodness. The advert itself was no ordinary piece of art; it resembled a vibrant cartoon with hints of theatre managers and even Queen Victoria herself. It depicted Prince of Wales proudly standing alongside the Grenadier Guards in 1914, showcasing their keenness to serve their country. Not only did Keen's Mustard capture the attention of military enthusiasts, but it also appealed to naval cadets who understood the importance of having keen eyesight as marksmen during World War II. Their dedication to precision mirrored that of Henry Jenkins, a renowned figure from 1690 known for his exceptional sharpness. As time went on, Keen's Mustard continued to make waves across various social circles. The third Marquess of Salisbury and Russe were among those who couldn't resist its unique flavor. Even foxhounds found themselves drawn to this condiment like bees to honey. But it wasn't just about taste; Keen's Mustard became synonymous with unforgettable experiences. From watching cricket matches at The Oval while perched atop gasometers to being mesmerized by stunning illustrations adorning theater curtains – every moment seemed enhanced when accompanied by a jar or bottle bearing the name "Keen. " One particular event that showcased this mustard's popularity was Regatta at Kiel. As sailors competed fiercely on choppy waters, spectators cheered them on with sandwiches slathered generously with Keen's Mustard – an essential ingredient for any successful day out. So whether you're a history buff reminiscing about past eras or simply someone seeking culinary delight, let your senses be captivated by the timeless allure of Keen's Mustard.
