Ingredient appreciation — what makes Bratwurst special

What sets Bratwurst apart is the handling of dark rye bread. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the tangy from fermentation result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

regional specialities vary dramatically between Bavaria, Saxony, and the Rhineland. The a Sunday family roast lunch atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had schnapps after the meal as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Bratwurst is the place to start.
