Hoping to spice up their summer business, German butchers have introduced a new line of exotic-tasting sausages with flavors ranging from kiwi, maraschino cherry, lemon and even aloe vera.
The wide variety of new ingredients may seem like heresy to what is for many ordinary Germans the national dish. But for others the new flavors may help negate stagnant demand for the greasy Bratwurst you can find on almost any street corner.
Berlin butcher Uwe Buenger has developed a “chili-honey” Bratwurst while rival Dankert has come up with a “kiwi wurst” that also includes pineapples and maraschino cherries, Bild newspaper reported Tuesday.
Most of the designer flavors of sausage in the marketplace – suck!
Even worse, is the PC fanaticism for reducing fat content. Fat mostly renders out during proper cooking and provides flavor. The teenie weenie anti-fat crowd is probably responsible for breeding pigs themselves down to walking cardboard animal imitations.
I used to like sausage, then we went on high school a field trip to a Valleydale meat packing plant. Never again.
#1, mark, don’t even think about eating the Blutwurst (blood sausage).
Mmmm.. Sausage…
Sausage – I prefer the spicy italian type
Those who like laws and sausages should never watch either being made…
Why not? They’ve already got fruit flavoured beer! Yeeesch!
You can still find the best hogs in Europe, or at least the less manipulated for lean meat. Pigs in the US was breed for lard originally, and then we went crazy the other direction. English bacon is a world apart from the vacuum packed US variety. I buy mine from a local butcher shop that smokes their own bacon and makes real sausage in natural casings. And yes they use scrap and organ meat.
Oh, I don’t know. Chili-honey sounds pretty good.
Outside of the previously mentioned spicy italian, and chorizo, I can’t taste the differences in these designer sausages.
I don’t know about the other flavours mentioned, but I love aloe vera. Theres a drink I buy often thats got big chunks of the plant in it, tastes great 🙂
they need some kool-aid pickles to spice up that pork sandwich.
