A HISTORIAN has discovered the oldest known recipe for German sausage, a Thuringian bratwurst nearly 600 years old.
According to the 1432 guidelines, sausage makers had to use only the purest, unspoiled meat or face a fine of 24 pfennigs - a day's wages - if they did not.

The full article contains 53 words and appears in The Scotsman newspaper.

#2. Conan, Moffat - Thuringian bratwursts were well know for supporting the Nazi regime by sustaining vicious Nazi soldiers and thus should have been wiped out in 1945. Nicht wahr?

Does the recipe also call for the tough plasticky skins that the Germanic tribes of the present day use to encase the various sausages?
My favourite German sausage is the traditional Franconian sausage. Last eaten on a trip to Nürnberg after a visit to Doku-Zentrum.

Do try to be less of an idiot, Private Donald, if at all possible.

My Favourite Bratwurst Recipe.

Bratwurst Braised with Apples, Cabbage, and Carrots

5 bratwurst sausages
1 Cup chopped onions
1 Cup chopped apples
1 Cup chopped carrots
1/2 cabbage sliced into 5 wedges
1 Tbls. Caraway seeds
1 bottle dark beer, or 1 cup Riesling wine
Beef Bouillon or Salt and Pepper

1. Browning the sausages.
Start with 2 cups of water and simmer the sausages in a skillet, this leeches out some of the fat and keeps the sausage from getting too brown. When the water evaporates brown the sausages on both sides.

2. Add onions and cook till the onions are clear and lightly browned.

3. Add apples and cook till soft .

4.Add carrots and cabbage, caraway and the beer or wine. Add the Beef bouillon or some salt and pepper

Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until the cabbage is tender.

Serve with a nice German brown bread or crusty rolls.

Enjoy! :))

Reminds me of the time I was driving in Germany and saw a sign for the Sausage Factory 300 metres on the left. Think I took a turn for the 'wurst' after that: )

#9. Depends of the build of the brat, Jacqueline. Age too if you like slightly older meat.
