Noticed that there are still plenty of specialised shops in Germany and France like butchers, bakers etc which have lost over here. Can still find some and artisan bread in is becoming popular but very expensive. We make nearly all our own bread except for burger and hot dog buns.
Had a white sausage in Munich that was made from tripe. Another one we can't get over here.
Glen, do you refer to the typical “Weißwurst” or just another white sausage?
It was made from tripe?
Here in Bavaria it is traditionally made from veal mince and pork bacon. Further ingredients are parsley, cardamom, mace, ginger, onions and a hint of lemon.
The sausage is eaten with sweet mustard and a “Breze”.
Sweet mustard is made from kibbled mustard seed which is commonly sweetened with honey, sugar or apple sauce.
As I am vegetarian, I only eat the Pretzel along with the sweet mustard, which is quite delicious.
