Everything to know about Bavaria’s traditional white sausage
GRAFENWOEHR, Germany — One of the most anticipated meals in southern Germany is the “Weißwurstfrühstück,” or white sausage breakfast. Eating Weisswurst, or white sausage, is one of the many traditions a person can partake in when coming to Bavaria. But why do Germans eat it, and what is the right way to eat it? Here are some helpful tips and tricks that will help you impress some of the locals. How do you cook it? Step 1: Weißwürste are supposed to be cooked in hot, but not boiling water, and warmed up for 15 to 20 minutes. Step 2: Once they are hot, they are ready to be eaten and removed from the water. When you order Weißwürste in a restaurant, they are usually served in a bowl of hot water to keep them warm longer. But don’t be mistaken, the liquid is not a soup. Step 3: Remove Weißwürste from the water and enjoy while still warm.
Warning: White sausages are delicate. You should never boil the sausages, because they tend to burst open in boiling water. Additionally, do not leave remaining Weißwürste submerged too long, because they will lose flavor and become watery. When do you eat it? The best time to eat Weißwürste is in the morning, and they should never be eaten after noon. An old saying goes, “No Weißwurst should ever hear the afternoon church bells.” This tradition stems from the lack of preservation options during the 19th century. The meat could not be kept cool, so consumption was necessary before turning bad. Even though preservation options have since developed, this tradition is still alive today. Since the dish might be a little heavy early in the morning, the perfect time to eat Weisswürste is around 10 a.m. How do you eat it? There are many ways to eat a Weißwurst. Depending on where you are, there are different ways and rules for consumption. For
