I love heritage or antique recipes, but I don’t have any that are 600 years old as far as I know. Wow.
To: james500
According to the 1432 guidelines, Thuringian sausage-makers had to use only the purest, unspoiled meat and were threatened with a fine of 24 pfennigs - a day's wages - if they did not
And the fine was double for sausage found to have transfats.

Beer was also regulated:
Quaff quote
"The best known and most famous brewing law is the Reinheitsgebot. The "Purity Law" is the oldest food regulation in the world and still exists today unchanged from the original. It was ordered by Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria in the year 1516. It said that beer should only be brewed from barley, hops and water. Thanks to the regulation, Bavarian beers then became leaders among their peers. Thus other lands of Germany also enforced the regulation."

I googled to find out what exactly went into the 600 year old bratwurst recipe and finally found this:
"The instructions go on display Thursday in the Bratwurst Museum near the eastern city of Erfurt, Thuringia's capital."
