Nürnberger Bratwurst looks like breakfast links but they are different and taste so much better! The spices – and mostly the majoram – make this sausage so very delicious!
Nürnberg is the second-largest city in Bavaria with a history going back further than to the year 1050 when it was first mentioned on paper. Surrounded by high walls, it is said that the Nürnberger sausages are made so small and thin, so they would fit through the keyhole of the city’s gates after curfew. This way, travelers who didn’t make it into town in time, could still enjoy their good food. If this is true? One might wonder, especially since the money to pay for it would not have fit through the keyhole and paypal hasn’t been invented, yet.
There is a regulation for almost all foods in Germany, especially if it is a national treasure that comes with a long tradition. I.e. this sausage should not have more than 35% fat.

Already in medieval times, these sausages had specific regulations of who was allowed to make it, at what places it was allowed to sell, and how much 4 of the sausages must weigh. Any violations however small would lead to harsh punishment! Maybe that is why Germans are so obsessed with details and quality?
The original recipe is – of course – top secret. However, we know enough to make our own at home. There is supposed to be 60% of the meat coming either from the neck or from the shoulder of a pig and 40% from the belly. The mix of spices has a focus on majoram and of course salt.
If you want, you can add some garlic or onion, some coriander if you like that. I personally like using even more majoram than in the recipe here – I really like the taste of it.

If you go to a farmers market, you will find sausages stands in between the vegetable, eggs, and cheese stands. They roast the sausages there for everyone to purchase and take a little break from shopping.
The sausages are served on a rectangle paper plate with some mustard or in a fresh roll with a count of three sausages in them. The scent of the roasted sausages is all over the place and while everyone loves it, nobody can really resist it.
Nürnberger sausages are also sold at carnivals, sometimes in the parking lot of a grocery store and at all kinds of festivities open to the public.

Usually, they are roasted over open fire/charcoal and that’s how they taste best. But it is also ok to fry them at home in a pan or on your grill – Germans love to grill.
These rectangle paper plates that you get with a sausage at a sausage stand are special. If you don’t want to be singled out as a tourist, you should know that one end of the plate can be torn off. You can then wrap it around the sausage so you can hold it even though it’s hot. So, don’t ask for fork and knife, just do it like the Germans with this simple and decade-old trick.
