I didn't know about funeral mustard until I moved to this Waterloo County Mennonite community. The mustard is a homemade, vinegary, somewhat sweet and very yellow condiment that is among the fixings for do-it-yourself sandwiches laid out on long tables as part of the meal served to family and friends after a funeral. Yesterday at such a meal, I sat across from Erla, the funeral mustard guru herself. At the suggestion of her sister sitting next to her, I got a blog pic of Erla testing the "slump" of her product. What would really make this scene complete is having gotten mischievous sister Pauline "horning" in on the photo, too.
