Bratwurst is a type of German sausage that’s typically made from pork, although beef and veal are sometimes used as well. It’s a mildly spiced link sausage with regional variations, but herbs and spices like marjoram, coriander, nutmeg, and pepper are commonly added to give it a distinctive flavor. In Germany, bratwurst is usually fresh, grilled, and served on hard rolls with sauerkraut. In the United States, bratwurst is often smoked, boiled in beer, and served in a soft hot dog bun with mustard and other toppings. Despite its simplicity, bratwurst is a beloved food in many parts of the world. Let’s dive into creating this culinary delight!
