Bratwurst
A fresh pork or veal sausage seasoned with nutmeg, ginger or marjoram depending on region, grilled or pan fried and served in a roll with mustard.
Where it comes from
Germany has dozens of regional bratwurst styles, each tied to a specific city's grinding and seasoning tradition, a variation shaped by the country's long history as separate states before unification.
What cooks argue about
Parboiling the sausage in water or beer before grilling renders fat and guarantees it cooks through, but some cooks call that a shortcut that steams away flavor and grill it raw instead.
