How is it possible that I have never heard of this "national debate" yet? FR is always the first to know!

[tet68]

Snorkers ? Bangers ? Brats?
Boudin? Any way you cut it, it's fine eating.

Uh, I'll leave the "sucking tubes of white flesh" to
those who are so inclined.

[DK Zimmerman]

Well, some of us have experienced both the meal and the debate.

Personally, although I concur with the requirement to eat them in morning, I favor the susssenf, which hopefully isn't a too badly mis-spelled sweet mustard with them.

Many a friendship has come to an abrupt end after a carefully prepared weisswurst meal was ruined because of an ill-informed request for ketchup, sauerkraut or a glass of lemonade.”

I'd say these wurst brats need to get a life.

[Michael81Dus]

When I tell you that I´m a vegetarian since I´m 7 - on my own choice (because of a book for kids showing environment, and how we produce meat etc), you´ll take my citizenship from me, won´t you?

It´s spelled "Süßsenf" here, but it´s not spelled too bad the way you did it - respecting that you´ve no ä,ü,ö,ß on your keyboard! :-)

Don't knock 'em.

...proper sucking technique requires practice if it is not to “disgust” those who are watching

I don't care how delicately this little ritual is performed, I"M DISGUSTED!

Now give me some beer-brats browned on the grull, mmmmmm

[T Minus Four]

grull = grill

This sentence is so rich that I'd best leave it alone...(fading away while humming "I left my heart in San Francisco".....)...

[July 4th]

Mmmm...weisswurst...

[tet68]

Man that's fit for a konig, Bavarian Rye, Spatzle, and
a large beer! What more could a man require?

Well berhaps a Frau mit zoftig Busen.

[aculeus]

Yes, but it could be wurst ... or salami.

[pt17]

Now give me some beer-brats browned on the grill, mmmmmm

I won't knock these brats: Pour beer in a pan. Cut up some onions and put both onions and brats into the pan. Let cook for a while and then move brats and onions to the grill, hickory smoke preferred, cook some more and serve with a good mustard or horseradish sauce. Yummmmy!

[syriacus]

Mit or mitout the skin?

That is our household's question when talking about franks or other sausages. My husband was a butcher-boy (made deliveries by bicycle in his German-American neighborhood) when he was in high school.

We love weisswurst!!

I usually cut it in half lengthwise before cooking it. And I usually remove the skin, first, if I am going to be browning it in a frying pan.

[dighton]

... I´m a vegetarian ...

It's raining sausages in India.

Across the table, however, Walter Koenig, a businessman, was using his cutlery first to slice, then to peel his Weisswurst. “This is the only way to do it,” he insisted, reaching for a second helping.

Wow . . . Lieutenant Chekov eats wurst!

[Xenalyte]

Now give me some beer-brats browned on the grill, mmmmmm

They may have been around for awhile down here in Houston and we just never noticed, but Xena's Guy recently developed quite a taste for beer brats. We have them at least once a week - grilled up, sometimes with eggs, always with beer.

[Michael81Dus]

LOL And when will you plant your personal hamburger-tree?

[oyez]

Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder = Wusswurst

What a weenie.
