Where does one find the mustard (Johnny's Senap) that this site recommends with split pea soup? IKEA?

Johnny's isn't good. For dishes like split pea soup, I recommend a visit to a Swedish apothecary in the month(s) before Christmas and Easter -- they have a great mustard which is particularly good for traditional food, and also (together with a creamier one like Graveleij and a little bit Dijon) great for mustard herring after my grandfather's recipe. :)

Just so I got this right, pharmacies in Sweden sell their own mustards? Or is an apothecary a different thing there than a pharmacy?

First hit I got: https://www.totallyswedish.com/products/johnnys-mustard-410.
Ikea generally sell mostly their own brands, at least here in Sweden.

I'm in the US.
If it’s Christmas mustard you’re hoping to find, simply search online for ‘julsenap’ before your visit.
Regional variations will more likely turn up at Christmas Markets (julmarknader), but even normal grocery stores will have more to choose from at that time of year.

There are literally dozens of varieties to choose from nowadays - some of them including unconventional flavorings and spices. Here’s one example (not a recommendation! I’ve never tried this - just googled julsenap and this was one) which includes chili and lemon: https://dellback.se/hovsenap-julsenap-chili-citron
