Traditional Bavarian white sausage made of veal, pork, onions, ginger,
mace, and parsley... The mixture is stuffed in a clean pork gut skin. A
true Bavarian eats his Weißwurst usually in the morning, as the saying
goes that a "Weißwurst shouldn't hear the church bell's noon chime". The
most interesting part starts with how to eat a Weißwurst. First of all
you eat it without its skin (clean pork guts) and here the difficulty
starts. Bavarians only zuzzel their Weißwürste, but there are easier
ways too, which will be explained now.
"Zuzzeln":
You open the sausage with your knife at one end and suck the meat out of
it. This way of consuming it is hard for beginners and must be
learned by heart. Strange and funny noises while sucking are inevitable
but will be condoned.
Pulling away the skin:
A more discreet way of enjoying the sausage is by cutting its skin in
half in the long direction and then rolling the meat out of it with your
knife or fork.
Furthermore, be careful with what else you eat your Weißwurst:
There are traditional regulations in Bavaria about the served garnish to
a Weißwurst. It must be a Bretzel and the sausage must be dipped into a
sweet, special Weißwurst mustard. Additionally a "Weizen", Bavarian
wheat beer, is served.
And don't forget, Weißwürste are eaten in the morning
The lower part of ham hocks is called Haxen in Bavaria, Eisbein in
High German.
It must be cooked for a long time in the oven until the tender meat is
spicy and covered with a crispy fat skin.
Served with Sauerkraut and potato dumplings it the perfect food for "da
große Hunger" (...when you're very hungry)
Usually eaten in Bavaria on sundays, this dish is probably the best
known Bavarian food. It is from the shoulder of the pork
or the loin and gets cooked a very long time in the oven. Served with
red cabbage and bread dumplings, a Schweinebraten is
a "richtigs Schmankerl" (a real delicacy). A good brown-beer sauce
consummates taste.
This food originates in the Allgäu. Centuries ago poor peasants
created a meal which was not only affordable but also tasty.
The viscous dough gets rasped into boiling water. Afterwards the Spatzen
are mixed with Allgäu cheese and fried onions.
