Born in Germany, brought to America with the German immigrants, the bratwurst is more than just a sausage. In Wisconsin, they are never actually called bratwurst, although they certainly understand you if you call them that. In Wisconsin, they are just “brats” and they are everywhere in the badger state

Still hate mustard.
Mods pull if you wish.
You lived in Wisconsin and you’re not talking about cheese?
Love brats, lived in min close to cheese land. Had brats all the time.
“...and fell in love with sauerkraut.”
Try sprinkling a little brown sugar on the sauerkraut while it’s sauteing in the skillet. I learn that trick from the fellow who ran a popular hot dog stand in Boothbay Harbor.
I’m not real big on brats. I find them to be rather bland. I absolutely love kielbasa.
And yeah, sauerkraut is da bomb! Ever tried it on mashed potatoes?
I moved to Wisconsin from Georgia 14 years ago. I’ll never have a regular hot dog again.
Brats are good. Weisswurst is the bomb. Veal and pork.
Johnsonville Brats in this house. :)
I wish I could acquire the taste, but never have. (My dogs love it and it’s great when giving them pills).
I recommend using barbecue sauce in place of catsup. Also, try a “brat egger”, a split brat with a fried egg on a Sheboygan hardroll- awesome!
And get a Johnsonville sausage grill and you can have a brat in minutes any time of day.

Publix runs BOGOs periodically.
Food vanities are good. They keep things balanced. Keep working on the mustard thing. Try a good Düsseldorfer.
The best brats come from Hosley’s Meats in New Glarus.
Grilled just right, spicy mustard and some grilled onions. Wash it down with a couple of Spotted Cows.
Mmmmmm

When I was a kid in the late 70's, my Mother(God bless her soul), would make kielbasa and canned sauerkraut for dinner, and I insisted that not one strand of kraut be on the kielbasa.
I was a bitch in Bette Midler's league.
It could have been the brand and/or style of brat you had. There are different formulations of spices and meats based on who made them. Some companies make milder versions for people who have never had them before, or for kids who may not like more spicier versions.
How could you eat a Brat without Mustard?
I make my own so I can get the spices JUST RIGHT.
I often buy Johnsonville products. I’ll have to try their brats🤨
Brats are real big around Cincinnati. Nothing like a beer and a brat with plenty of kraut and mustard at the ballpark.
