What it is
Schiessl Weißwurst is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from finely ground veal and pork back bacon. It is seasoned with parsley, lemon, onion, and mace. This sausage is typically prepared by heating it in water, never boiling. The casing is not meant to be eaten and is usually removed before consumption. It is a staple of Bavarian cuisine, often enjoyed as a breakfast or brunch item.
How people cook with it
Weißwurst is a classic delicacy enjoyed in many ways, most commonly as part of a traditional meal.
- Served with sweet mustard
- Enjoyed with a pretzel

- As a hearty breakfast
To prepare Weißwurst, place the sausages in a pot and cover them with hot, but not boiling, water. Gently heat the water until the sausages are warmed through, which usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Avoid letting the water boil, as this can cause the sausages to burst. Once heated, remove the Weißwurst from the water. The traditional way to eat it is to cut it lengthwise and then peel away the casing before slicing and enjoying.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many other sausages that are grilled or fried, Weißwurst is specifically heated in water. Its delicate flavor profile, derived from veal and subtle spices like parsley and lemon, distinguishes it from heartier, more heavily seasoned sausages. The casing is also thinner and not intended for consumption.
Who it is for
