Theuringer Bratwurst

[FishFry]

Okay - welcome to German word of the day - first of all it is Thüringer Bratwurst not "Theuringer"

Also - "Brat" means "roast", not ground meat, since ground meat would be Brät.

To make things a bit more complicated - technically it's a "Rostbratwurst", which means traditionally you do it on a charcoal grill, since "Rost" means grille/grate.

Klaus... how did you track me down?

American Thüringer is something else and more like a summer sausage. Klaus, my German liaison, is the Yoda of German sausages.

"Klaus, hast Du Schnitzelwurst in the Handtasche?" That makes him mad.

​

Kinda, but a higher moisture content fridge luncheon meat. At least back in the 1960's

Long enough to split open.

I like them split open a bit. Gives the mustard and kraut something to hold onto to. I would not send those back.

Do you all prefer natural or synthetic casings? Proper intestines, collagen, cellulose etc? Klaus mentioned and then demanded a specialty sausage that doesn't have a casing. It's called a Wollwurst - wool sausage. I could not find Wollwürste for Klaus. I tried passing off peeled Weisswürste as Wollwürste but that didn't go well.

I'm in team natural intestines.
Wollwurst is a totally different beast than Weisswurst.
Wollwurst doesn't come with a casing, but gets boiled to hold the form.
Before you put them in a buttered pan, they get dipped in milk.
Wollwürste are served with gravy.




And yeah - don't mess with Weisswurst. Especially here down south.

I don't want the Wurstpolizei to come after me!
