Pork Bratwurst Links

A bratwurst (often simply called a brat) is a flavorful German sausage made from ground pork, seasoned with a variety of spices like salt, caraway seed, marjoram and allspice. The name "bratwurst" comes from the Old High German word "brät," which refers to finely chopped meat, and "Wurst," meaning sausage. Bratwursts are coarsely ground and encased in a natural casing, giving them a satisfying texture when cooked.

These sausages are most commonly grilled, but they can also be pan-fried or simmered. When cooked, bratwursts develop a rich, savory flavor with a slight spice kick. They’re often served on a bun, topped with mustard or sauerkraut, and enjoyed at barbecues, beer gardens, or as part of a hearty meal. Known for their versatility, brats are a favorite for casual meals, especially when paired with beer or other sides like potatoes or roasted vegetables.
