Guten Tag! A typical greeting meaning ‘good day’ to the people of Germany. Germany is one of the wealthiest countries in Europe and is highly known for its beauty and the Germans love for Sausage!
The taste of Germany I am going to share with you is a dish called Brätwurst (brat-worst). Brätwurst is a German name meaning Brät- finely chopped meat, and wurst- sausage. The sausage used in this dish can be veal, pork or beef and is usually cooked in broth or beer and grilled to perfection.
How is it made?
There are many different ways Brätwurst is prepared and all depends on the region it was made. Brätwurst was originated in the city of Coburg in Bavaria. Here it is made from a minimum of 15% veal and seasoned with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and lemon zest. This style of Brätwurst is typically grilled over pinecones and has a very rough texture.
In the region of Nürnberger, Brätwurst is prepared as a small and thin pork sausage. It is grilled over a beechwood fire and served with horseradish and sauerkraut. The Nürnberger style is thought to be the most popular sausage in Germany.
A final popular style I will share with you is the Thüringer Rost Brätwurst. This Brätwurst is served in a long and thin shape. It is a spicy sausage grilled over a charcoal fire.
How do I eat it?
Brätwurst is typically enjoyed with hot German mustard on Brötchen, a German roll. If you are not a mustard fan it can be replaced with horseradish, sauerkraut, or ketchup. It can be easily compared to the American Hot Dog.
How do I get it?
Brätwurst was brought over to America by the German immigrants and over time has become very popular. It is easily attainable and can be found in major supermarkets across the country.
Brätwurst is absolutely delicious and if you haven’t tried it run to the nearest store and grill up some of Germany’s finest sausage!
