MJ's Kafe

Steinbach, Canada

A small restaurant on Steinbach's Main Street serving traditional Mennonite comfort food alongside standard diner fare. The farmer's sausage comes pan-fried with eggs for breakfast or alongside perogies for lunch. They grow herbs in their own garden and source meat from local processors. The kind of place where the waitress calls you 'hon' and the coffee never stops flowing.

Farmer's Sausage

Southern Manitoba

A cold-smoked pork sausage born in the Mennonite farming communities of southern Manitoba. Ground pork, salt, pepper, and woodsmoke. Four ingredients. No herbs, no garlic, no filler. The sausage gets its character from the smoking process: hung in a smokehouse over smoldering wood (often oak or maple) at temperatures too low to cook the meat. The result is a firm, rosy link with a pronounced smoke flavor and a coarse, meaty texture. Mennonite families across the Canadian prairies have eaten it two or three times a week for over a century.
