            Bratwurst [fresh sausage]   | 
            
            German for pork sausage.  Bratwurst is German 
            for "frying sausage". Originally a fresh sausage, made of coarsely 
            ground beef and pork, zestily seasoned, some processors now make it 
            in a pre-cooked version. A Pork or pork and veal mixture, seasoned 
            with sage and lemon juice, packed in casings about 1 3/8 inches in 
            diameter, 4 inch links, usually 6 to 7 links per lb,  must be 
            scalded, or par boiled before eating. Bratwurst is especially 
            popular for grilling, so production is greatest during the cookout 
            season. 
             Ingredients: Beef and pork, or pork and 
            veal.  
            Seasonings: Coriander, ginger, mustard, 
            pepper, sage, salt, sugar, or thyme. Spice formulas vary greatly-  |
