Well good morning from Nuremberg.
It is shortly past 10 in the morning and why yes I am drinking beer already because this
is Germany and this is how we do things.
So let's have a sip.
Cheers to you.
Brost.
Anyways, today we're at a really famous restaurant here in Nuremberg to try a specialty dish.
We have come to Bratwursthäusle to try their Nürnberg Bratwurst.
So glad those German lessons paid off.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
So basically that is a Nuremberg sausage right?
Yes.
And this is what it looks like.
The food is already here.
And it is cooked right in the middle of the restaurant.
It is an open kitchen so you can watch them prepare it.
We got to watch them do that.
Yeah, and it is six.
Six to a plate.
But you know what?
It usually comes in 6, 8, 10 or 12.
And you can get 3 different side dishes with it.
We ordered sauerkraut.
Yeah, and then we also ordered an extra side of potato salad because we couldn't make up
our mind.
They both sounded so so good.
Over here.
Yeah.
And you can also just get it with horseradish.
And we've got some mustard at the table.
So yeah, we just ordered one portion because I mean I just had breakfast maybe an hour
ago.
I'm not that hungry I think we can share this.
But yeah, we're going to dig in.
So we've come a long way for this very special sausage.
Yeah.
So what makes it so unique?
Well what makes it so unique is that it is basically its configurations.
It has to be between.
Configurations?
Isn't that mathematical.
Between 7 to 9 centimeters.
Yeah.
And it weigh between 20 to 25 grams.
Yeah.
These are not small.
You cannot deviate from that.
Oh no.
Because then it is not authentic.
Exactly.
And apparently it is also seasoned with marjoram which isn't a spice I'm really familiar with.
I'm not quite sure what it tastes like.
Time for that very first bite.
Yep.
In he goes.
The famed Nuremberg sausage.
Will it disappoint?
Wow.
No?
No.
It is good?
That is one of the best sausages I've ever had.
Like that is just so good.
Yeah?
Yeah.
It is greasy but it is also tender, it is flavorful.
It is just like checks off all the boxes of being really good.
Ooh.
Man, I can't wait to try it too.
It is so nice and I thought six of them might be too much but because they are this small
and because we are sharing them I'm almost thinking maybe we could have ordered the 10
or 12.
Maybe we'll come back for seconds.
Maybe we'll have to come back again.
So going in for my first bite.
Let's see how it tastes.
I'm going to have it on its own first.
Oh my!
Mmmm.
Isn't that good?
Oh man.
That is really nice.
And you know what we are here ridiculously early.
You know normally people would be coming here for lunch or like mid-afternoon.
That is because this place is so popular.
I know.
It gets packed.
So yeah, we're lucky to get a table.
That is one of the reasons we came early but also also like most typical time for Canadians
to have sausage is actually for breakfast in the morning.
That is true.
So it is kind of fitting that we're having a sausage this time of day.
Sausage.
Bratwurst right?
And let's put some mustard, some zenf I believe.
Also we should mention the name of this sausage is protected.
So it can only be a Nuremberg Bratwurst if it is from Nuremberg.
I was actually reading an article yesterday about this that said that basically there
are over 1500 different kinds of sausages in Germany.
There is more different kinds of sausages in Germany than there are cheeses in France.
Woah!
So yeah, we should do a sausage themed road trip maybe?
We'd be up for that.
We could take a five year roadtrip to cover all of the different sausages here in Germany.
Only eat sausage.
I'm not sure if we'd survive it but uh isn't that so good?
This is really good stuff and there is so little that like half the sausage is gone
in one bite.
Why don't you try it with sauerkraut or the potato?
I've already done both in case you missed it.
Um, it is a nice potato salad.
It has got some vinegar so it is like a little bit sour.
And how about the sauerkraut?
But yeah, you really tasty too.
Yeah?
I've already had some.
I haven't tried that yet.
So yeah, a nice way to start the morning.
We're going to need our energy for walking around town so mmmhmm.
So here at the table they also left us a basket of breads.
Yeah, and the pretzel just looked too irresistible.
Like what this is probably our third time to Germany and I have to say I've had a lot
of pretzels here and they make the best pretzels in the world as far as I'm concerned.
So when I saw that in the bread-basket I'm like yeah it is only 1 Euro so let's try it.
And holding this in my hand I can tell this is more of a crispy one.
Like a hard bread?
Yeah, as opposed to a doughy one.
So let's try.
You know my favorites are the ones that are covered in cheese?
Mmmm.
That is really nice.
I actually it is more crispy on the outside but it is it is a lot more doughy than I thought
too.
Mmm.
Oh, and speaking of bread we should also mention these sausages that we're having you can also
order them three in a bun.
It is called Trienbeckla.
Yeah, that is really popular it is a street snack.
That is super popular as street food.
Oh, and the other thing I really like about the pretzels here is just large chunks of
salt that they have.
Look at that.
Oh, that is salt.
That is salt.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, look at that.
I thought that was sesame seeds.
Nope.
No.
It is large grains of salt.
Woah!
Oh yeah.
Hey, you haven't tried your beer.
Oh right.
How have you gone this far.
What is wrong with me.
Well I did have a sip.
To have beer.
Cheers!
Cheers in Germany is what brost?
Brost.
Oh, hello.
You thought we were done with the sausages.
Well no, we had to get dessert after we saw it on the menu.
Haha.
If you'd like to hear some more horrible German.
We got Apfelstrudel mit vanilla sauce un sanne.
I believe that apple strudel.
Hahaha.
With vanilla sauce and cream so here we go.
Here we go.
It looks nice.
Look at that.
So we've got some icing sugar on top it would seem.
Oh, the sauce is warm.
I can feel the heat rising off of the plate.
Let's see.
Let's try that.
Oh, the icing sugar blew away.
And?
Mmmmm.
Hmmmhmm.
Hits the spot?
And it is quite good.
It is quite good.
Yes.
Audrey approved.
It has raisins.
And she is stumbling in for the second bite.
It is just it makes me think of a dessert you'd eat on a cold day like by the fireplace.
A cup of hot cocoa and my apple strudel.
And maybe some warm apple cider?
Mmmm.
To go with your apple strudel.
And the cream is the best part and she's going in for a third bite without I still haven't
had any.
Oh man.
Oh man he says.
Oh man.
This is so good.
I really like this because it reminds me a little bit of apple crisp.
Something I'm really familiar with eating in Canada.
My Grandma used to make it for me, my Mom used to make it for me so I love apple and
cinnamon desserts.
Especially if they warm.
Especially if they come with ice cream and cream.
That is just except this one has no ice cream.
No ice cream.
It is just cream.
It is just vanilla and it is cream but this is just one of my favorite kinds of desserts
to be honest.
Oh, and you know what we haven't talked about?
What?
We're in a really cool room because we got here early.
Yeah.
We found this private little booth.
It is like our own little den.
We're in a cabin.
We're in a cabin in the corner.
It is cozy.
This would be so nice in the wintertime.
I can have a siesta in here afterwards.
Oh man.
The mid-morning siesta.
Okay, we still have lots of sightseeing to do.
Anyways, let's finish dessert.
Well, that is that.
Yeah.
The food has been polished, the beer polished.
Well, that is that.
Time to assess the damage.
So that came to what just over 20 Euros?
Yeah.
21 Euros. 21 Euros to be exact.
So two beers, a giant pretzel.
Um, six sausages.
Six sausages with sauerkraut.
And a side order of the potatoes plus one dessert to share.
So yeah, I mean a reasonable price.
I think it is maybe this place is obviously super touristy.
It is a super touristy spot but at the same time I don't feel like we got fleeced.
It was a reasonable price about you know 10 Euros per person or just slightly over.
For beer, for food.
Yeah, we're definitely full.
We are satisfied.
And it is time to actually to go out and explore this beautiful city.
Bub-bye.
Bye.
