Bratwurst Sausage, an edible German Icon

Bratwurst sausages have come to be symbolic of Germany. According to statistics from the German Butchers‘ Association, the Germans consume the equivalent of around three kilos of them per person every year. And yet they did not actually originate in Germany. But whilst the Ancient Greeks may have grilled sausages over glowing charcoal, it was the Germans that adopted the sausage as an edible part of their cultural heritage. „The Bratwurst sausage is Thuringian, Nuremberg and Coburg‘s top speciality and is known for it in the whole world“– that‘s something they‘re confident about over at the first German Bratwurst Museum in Mühlhausen, Thuringia.
