Your videos bring back so many fond memories of Bavaria. I was wondering where Frankfurter Rindswurst was going to be on the list, it was my favorite go to lunch item with pommes frits and a Coke when I was living in Aschaffenburg.

[@robertzander9723]

Amazing video, all these tasty sausages so well presented and explained. Thanks 😊👍

[@davidholiday4494]

Hi Marta: A great video to remind us all of the lovely wurst available in Germany. I think I have tried them all over the years but I didn't know about gelbwurst, krakauer or rindwurst - I would love to try them. Thank you!!!

I didn't see knockwurst on the list. That's one of my favorites. We have a German restaurant close to where I live called Metzger's (in Ann Arbor MI) and they have the best wurst. Their food reminds me of my Oma and her great cooking.

[@doveandolive1153]

Weisswurst is my childhood all time favorite ! Both parents were German and my mom would fry them, with Rotkohl & Bratkartoffeln with dill pickles on the side and a German mustard 😋. I haven't had Weisswurst in over 30 years just can't find it but occasionally I still look for them. Great video!

[@cooking-the-world]

Thanks Barbara! Those are nice memories 🥰

[@hydrojet7x70]

Interesting. I never heard or seen any of these before. We have all kinds of sausages here. Still never dreamed of any of these.

[@hansmuller3604]

Gelbwurst/Hirnwurst is a wurst i remember thin sliced cold on a breadroll. Petersilie(Parsley?) inside. The butcher would give the little children a slice of it as a giveaway.

[@cooking-the-world]

Restaurants or street food vendors serve the Gelbwurst still warm. But yes, at home we eat it sliced on the bread! Btw. This butcher tradition is still alive. Max (my 20 months old son) always gets a slice when visiting a butcher shop ;)

[@lonestar1123]

[@cooking-the-world]

You are welcome Paul. Weißwurst on the bbq 😅 oh well. Weißwurst is a sausage with very interesting taste, and it really tastes best how it should be served, so boiled with sweet mustard and pretzel. And just to make sure you know - we don’t „boil“ sausages in Germany, we let the warm up in the hot salty water for around 10-12 minutes. Oh you will enjoy them so much of you get hands on them :)

[@tedhoeborn2310]

Gelbwurst is my Bavarian granddaughter's favorite.

[@marybrand1977]

Bratwurst or knockwurst with red cabbage and German warm potato salad and mustard with sour dough bread. All my favorites.

[@autmun42]

Nuremberg brat was one of my favs when I lubed there Salzburg too

[@jeffno4132]

Disappointed to hear nothing of mettwurst, knockwurst or goetta. Maybe there can be a second video tasting additional sausages?

[@michaelwittkopp3379]

I miss my rewu, the one wurst that is hard to get here in the US. well-done video btw. 👍

[@pauldiming]

My favorite sausgae is smoked Mettwurst. My fathers family is from Minnesota, America where Mettwurst is available. I can not find it where I live in Virginia. My ancestors immigrated from Baden, Germany in the mid 1860s. I enjoy Mettwurst cooked it hot water with sauerkraut, potato salad, and beer 8-)

[@francisslyker3669]

Liversausage, of the variety common in the US, is a favorite treat of mine. Nice thick slices (cold) on rye, with lettice, mayonaise and onion! With mustard is just as good. Everyone that I know does something similar. However, I know of two people, of German heritage, one being my Grandfather, who would pan fry the slices first. You describe serving it as a meat. Is pan fried on bread a German practice? It tasted good to me!

[@5riversdeep628]

That does it, It's the second time I've seen the liverwurst used as a spread, on crusty bread, topped with pickled cukes, in your videos. I'm going to have to stop at the market on my home from work tomorrow and get the ingredients. Don't mind if I also top it with chopped onion and maybe cherry peppers as well.

[@willschmit436]

What about thuringer and all of the dried sausages (like landjaeger)?

[@hansmuller3604]

One Wurst i really like is Käsekrainer from the grill with mild but not sweet mustard. A dish to die for...👍

[@roihesse9174]

If you cook your sausages, always put some salt in the water. Stichwort: Osmose.

[@rgruenhaus]

Wish it wasn't so expensive to get some of them. Can't even get good kielbasa except national brands which are nothing like what i used to get in New Jersey, but im in Florida now.

[@experienceofchris1108]

Dang I have to go to Germany some time, beer and those sausages would keep me satisfied for a week

[@aubydauby]

You had me at "sausage salad".

[@nickbremner6274]

I really, really like weisswurst. I've had leberwurst in Salzburg which came cold, skinless, in cubes and was served with bread rolls which was lovely with a Stiegl beer. I've had kasekriener in Salzburg, Vienna and at home in Gosport, Hampshire but I think this is an Austrian sausage. I've had imported Krakauer at home and it was delicious. The only other sausages from your list that I've tasted were bockwurst in Munich and Frankfurters at home but I think they were made outside of Germany - we've got a pack in the fridge at the moment, I must examine them and see where they come from! I look forward to trying rindswurst and fleischwurst but I don't like the look of your blutwurst - I have the English version - black pudding - every time I have a full English breakfast.

[@jo100]

German Sausage are the Best Sausage’s, in the World 🌎, my Brothers and Sisters.

[@kmake8321]

Good video. Is Brätwurst the only German sausage which contains bread?

[@PANZERFAUST829]

Greetings from Cape Town Anton

[@reddevilparatrooper]

I love the Bratwurst and Rindwurst. I think the Rindwurst is what was brought to America which became the hot dog. In New York they are called Franks or Frankfurters because of the large German Jewish immigrant population it was made with all beef and has a strong garlic flavor to it. They are considered Kosher which doesn't contain pork or preservatives. Nathan's and Sabbath is my favorites for an American hot dog. Now I know that Rindwurst is the original all beef sausage that hot dogs came from. Bratwurst is my all time favorite from eating them at the train station in Mainz or in Frankfurt as Currywurst with pom fritz.

[@German_1]

Love your channel, but I have a question. Some of the wurst you can eat the casings, and other you push it out like toothpaste and don't eat the casing..is this correct? Which is which? Thanks!

[@cooking-the-world]

The rule about the casing is that if it’s casing made of intestine than you can eat it, if it’s artificial than you don’t. There is however one sausage, which is called the Weißwurst and this is the only sausage that traditionally is eaten like toothpaste. That was due to the fact that the sausage in the past had very soft consistency, therefore it was easier to eat it like that. Nowadays the Weißwurst has a consistency of a normal cooked sausage and therefore the casing can be eaten. But is still wouldn’t, to respect the tradition 😉

[@edwardpate6128]

Great video! The great German tradition of sausage really found a new home in the United States wherever large numbers of German immigrants came.

[@kurtsmith4657]

This lady sure knows her way around a sausage.

[@ejharrop1416]

[@lindamilks5455]

Ymmmm weisswurst! Haad it in Germany and LOVED it! But hard to find in the US.

[@little_forest]

Well, Weißwurst does not come specifically from Munich but is a standard sausage in all of Bavaria. And sucking the sausage is not particularly and generally "traditional". Across Bavaria there are different ways of "traditionally" eating it, even inside Munich where sucking is most common.

[@gregbrunner599]

Back in the early 1970's in Frankfurt nothing was better than weisswurst on a brotchen

[@SnakPakFlight]

I lived near Bad Windsheim for a while and I loved going into town to the sausage stand and getting the fueurwurst! I can't seem to find anywhere else to get one. It was 1/2 meter long and served on a pretty long bun. Sold at a stand in front of the Kaufland. Anybody know where else I can get one? Maybe Nuremburg or Frankfurt?

[@cooking-the-world]

I hevent seen those in Frankfurt, but I have never looked tbh. Online I found a company who is selling them and its called Burners. You can order them on Amazon: amzn.to/3O7XKWP

Frankfurter does not describe a strict regional product. You can produce Frankfurter at any other place. Thuringian Bratwurst must be produced in Thuringia.

Regarding Thüringer you are right. But you are wrong about the Frankfurter. Since 1929,m in Germany the name „Frankfurter“is only allowed to be used for sausages that are produced in the Frankfurt area as well.

'Nabend Marta. Now I'm hungry for Wurst. I know most of these, and like all of them, the Krakauer is a particular favourite of mine. That Pinkel Wurst my mum called "Poor man's sausage" because it was so cheap. I learned something tonight, I have never heard of "Gelb Wurst" but it sounds delicious. Fleischwurst is so tasty, I wish I could get it here. Mmmmm leberwurst und teewurst, ganz lecker. Hah, blütwurst, the only sausage the English do better than the Germans. Bury Black pudding is the best in the world. My Opa was a Blütwurst fan and he loved English black pudding. That's interesting, I always thought frankfurters, wieners and bockwurst were the same, just different shapes, that kartoffel salat looks disgusting, is it from a tin? Mmmmm Bratwurst, grilled or fried, non of those other weird ways! And currywurst, invented in Hamburg of course. Misch bröt I've not heard of, I'd love to try that. Rindswurst is tasty but we didn't have it often because it was expensive. I never had weiesswurst until I was an adult but I wasn't really impressed, maybe I'd had to many steins of beer 😃

Correction ..... "Bratwurst" meaning "Fried Sausage" BRATWURST, has nothing to do with BREAD

[@Goofie_spielt]

She did not say "bread" but "Brät" which ist what you call the stuff you put into the casing (as she explained).

[@SebCo77]

It doesn't originally refer to frying. I was delighted to hear her give the correct origin, Brät. In theory, you could cook a "Brätwurst" in water and it would be called the same.
