Weißwurst
A Weisswurst ( German ''Weißwurst'' , literally ''white sausage''; bar, Weißwuascht) is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from minced veal and pork back bacon. It is usually flavored with parsley, lemon, mace, onions, ginger and cardamom, although there are some variations. Then the mixture is stuffed into pork casings and separated into individual sausages measuring about ten to twelve centimeters in length and three to four centimeters in thickness. As they are not smoked or otherwise preserved they are very perishable. ''Weißwürste'' were traditionally manufactured early in the morning and prepared and eaten as a snack between breakfast and lunch. There is a saying that the sausages should not be allowed to hear the noon chime of the church bells. Even today, most Bavarians never eat ''Weißwürste'' after lunchtime (though it is perfectly acceptable to have a lunch consisting of Weißwürste at, say, half past one). The sausages are heated in water—well short ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
