Sounds like a great meal for the Fourth! I really like weisswurst and, contrary to the usual German custom, I'll eat them any time of day.
As for mustard, I was curious about the English meaning of the name of an Austrian village. The town's name? Senftenberg
Ohh you're making me hungry! Grilled some brats over the fourth holiday! They were fantastic. It is hard to get good bread though, everything here in VA is sourdough based. Why the heck can't we get good bread in the U.S.?
My husband is heading for Germany to work. The Stuttgart area. I have to send a list with him for things to bring back (toothpaste, deodorant, cookies), lucky him to be able to have German breakfast again and buy his little sandwich lunches on the streets!
I read somewhere that you should not the skin of Weisswurst. Does anyone know why?
this info is maybe 1 and half years too late,but anyways, Mustard in German is "senf"
I don't care what anyone says a Johnsonville Bratwurst is as good as it gets. With brussies and mashies a real treat. Even visiting germans would comment on the quality. In Germany used to get weisswurst boiled for breakfast. Never could acquire a taste for that. I am sure Bavaria has as many varieties of mustard as they do beer. Some of them are absolutely delicious. Here we put turmeric in the mustard to enhance the colour. That turns most europeans off but I always say erste probieren den schrein. What would a ballpark dog be without bright coloured mustard?
Welcome back bergzabern! Hope you had a good trip.
Have to agree on the Johnsonville brats, especially since I grew up in Wisconsin where their offices are located. I do really like the Johnsonville weisswurst.
Have to disagree on the mustard, though. I've switched over completely to the Gulden's brown mustard. At one time I used the yellow mustard on regular hot dogs, but they now get the Gulden's along with my brats.
My father would only eat a Brit mustard called Keen's. It came in a powdered form and you just mixed it with a little water. It was hot enough to peel the skin off of the roof of your mouth. I never realized any other type of mustard existed til i was about 12. I moved from Tsawwassen to Whistler in July. Quite exciting here as they prepare for the Winter Olympics. Lots of Germans everywhere, both athletes and tourists. From what I understand they will be the team to beat in most of the events being held here. I am going back to Germany end of this month for an indefinte time. Relative has had a serious accident within days of her husband passing away and am going over as part of her rehabilitation program and to help her out when she comes out of the hospital. Am sure it will be months over there. No one said life was easy.
I loved the white breakfast sausage we had in Munich. German food is the best!

Ten years ago I went on a business trip to Greding in Bavaria. I was suffering from cancer and was self-medicating with injections of Interferon three times a week. Consequence of this was that I could taste practically nothing. I remember arriving at the hotel at the edge of the square, unpacking, and going out into the square to look around. First thing I found was a Wurst stand and notwithstanding my lack of taste I simply had to have a Bratwurst, in a crisp Brötchen mit Senf. You know, I can taste that to this day!
well I am still here but going home soon. I have discovered a mustard here that is just delicious and very easy to acquire in any supermarket. Want to bring jars home but am limited by weight. It is the only mustard I have found where eating the wurst is secondary to the senf. Called Handlmaier's weiss wurst senf suss.
