From Viking Cruises, a discussion on German Bratwurst

http://www.vikingrivercruises.com/video/german-bratwurst/index.aspx

There is a small gallery of food topics:

http://www.vikingrivercruises.com/videos/#gallery_vtFood



Note that the bratwurst in the video are the diameter of your ring finger, unlike the thick quarter pound sausages that you get at the market. The ones in the video are IDENTICAL to the bratwurst sausages sold at Aldi in September and October.

I like the idea of eating pretzels, mustard and sausages. I have been known to polish off a jay of mustard in a week.

Oh, I'll have to check that out. Bratwurst in Germany, as far as I've seen, come stuffed both in sheep casings (the thinner kind) and pork casings (the thickness of Italian sausages, chorizo, etc., here.) There's a gazillion different varieties of bratwurst, my favorite being the Thuringer Rostbratwurst (not to be confused with what is sold as a Thuringer sausage here, which is a smoked sausage of some sort.) It is a long and thin sausage stuffed in a sheep casing. But not all German bratwursts are the thin type. They're all over the map in terms of size, spicing, varieties of meat used, etc.

Costco here in Montréal sells Piller's European Wieners, which are precisely the same tan-brown, long, thin sausage one can buy from carts all over Germany. Natural skin which really *pops* when you bite into it, perfect taste, I just love the damn things. Costco also stocks their knacks, which are also exactly right. Unfortunately, they don't stock the brat, which looks from its picture to be the right thing as well.

The Aldi German bratwurst are the size of breakfast link but slightly lighter.

I am getting hungry as I have two packages in the freezer.

Joe,

Our Aldi is in Plattsburgh NY, and they *never* have anything interesting, let alone German. :cry: Well, except some of the chocolate and the ground coffee. Totally boring--when I read in the Aldi thread about some of the exotic stuff you guys get, I'm way jealous. But then, I get stuff in my Montréal Costco you guys would die for, including the various Piller sausages (and not to mention Dunn's Smoked Meat, which, while it ain't Schwartz's, is still pretty damn good!), and excellent cheeses.

If only we could get some Miesfeld brats....

Geo

If I ever get a vacation this decade, maybe we can make a deal ...

I am two year overdue for a trip to Montreal.
