Sausage Cooking Tips

* Cook fresh sausages over gentle heat so the interior fully cooks.
* Sausages can be steamed, simmered, fired or grilled, or a combination of methods.
* Before cooking, prick the skins to prevent bursting.
* Reheat sausages in hot water, but avoid boiling them as their skins will split.
* Onions in the cooking liquid add flavor to sausages.
* Parboil fresh sausages in water or beer before grilling or frying.
* Beer adds a stronger flavor than water. Malt-heavy beers add sweetness and are good for strongly flavored sausage. Lagers add a slight bitterness and complement sweeter style sausages.
* To heat cooked fresh sausage, bring a pan of water or beer to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the sausages and cover for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. I do know that each

region has their own 'wurst' - and they are all different.

I am a big fan of German food. We have an excellent German restaurant in Hot Springs, AR called the BrauHaus.

5. I've got one, myself.

Eine echte Münchner Weisswürst

7. Brats (bratwurst) cooked in beer then grilled are the BEST.

Then put 'em in soft roll topped with grilled onions, sauerkraut and German mustard. YUM!!! :9

9. I remember always getting one from the street vendors

when I lived in Germany all the time when I was out and about. They warm you up in the winter time especially.

10. They're made of PEOPLE!!!

18. Is that the Soylent Green flavor sausage you're referring to?

[Deja Q]

19. I think he is. But don't forget,

the taste varies from person to person...

11. Those look like really enormous schwanzstuckers!

[SOteric]

12. I know they're the wurst.

:hide:

15. I know you don't want to know how either they or laws are made.

(Thank you Otto)

Anyway, try them on a bed of sauerkraut, with hot mustard and a good dark ale. Afterwords resist the urge to put on lederhosen and invade France.

16. All sausages are not equal.

I can tell you that.

Some do not pass near these lips.

However, a German sausage I might give a chance.

If only I could get a grip.

[mainegreen]

17. Great with mustard!

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Yes - at minimum, the makers of German sausages know all about them.

And I'm sure quite a few chefs, butchers, and grocers/meat-merchants would know something of German sausages as well.
