Personal Notes:
My paternal grandmother was born on the Italian side of the Alps and my grandfather was born in the Tirol area of Austria. Soon after they met Grandpa gave Grandma a large jar of the grainy brown mustard that his mother put up every year. Grandma used it in her potatoe salad and Grandpa loved it.
