St. Galler Bratwurst
A beloved Swiss sausage, the St. Galler Bratwurst is enjoyed throughout Switzerland, but especially in the city of St. Gallen. How well do you know this white sausage? 1. Documented evidence indicates the St. Galler Bratwurst existed during the 15th century. 2. This meat product earned an IGP (Indications géographiques protégées) designation in 2008. 3. This bratwurst contains veal and pork. 4. There are currently four types – St. Galler Bratwurst, Kalbsbratwurst, OLMA-Bratwurst and Kinderfest-Bratwurst 5. When you eat one of these bratwurst, it usually comes with a St. Galler–Bürli 6. To fully enjoy the taste of this bratwurst, people from St. Gallen insist that you should never add mustard! They argue that the flavor of the sausage is good enough that you shouldn’t have to add anything else. The mustard, they believe, unnecessarily masks the flavor of an otherwise delicious sausage!
