Was this a period horseradish mustard? Or one you bought at the store?
I assume the latter, but...

I have seen whole ginger root in the grocery for some time. I've used
in meads and other items.

Recently I saw whole horseradish root. How would you use this? I assume
not in mead :-). What would you do to go from fresh horseradish root
to horseradish sauce? Any period recipes for fresh horseradish? I don't
remember many that use horseradish at all.
