What is weiswurst?

Weisswurst is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from veal and pork and flavored with parsley, lemon, cardamom, and other spices. It is famously known as "white sausage" because it is typically made without any preservatives or smoked, resulting in its light color.

Weisswurst is usually served hot, often for breakfast or brunch, with sweet mustard, soft pretzels, and a cold beer. It is typically eaten without the skin, which is usually thin and delicate and could burst when cooked.

Weisswurst originated in Munich in the 19th century and has been a beloved Bavarian delicacy ever since. In fact, there is even a Weisswurst equator in Bavaria, which states that the sausage should not be eaten after noon. Over the years, Weisswurst has become popular throughout Germany and Europe, and can even be found in some parts of the United States.
