''Bregenwurst'' (also ''Brägenwurst'') is a specialty sausage of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt traditionally made of pork, pork belly, and pig or cattle brain.〔(''Brägenwurst'' ) at bk.fh-hannover.de. Retrieved on 23 Apr 2013. (in German)〕 〔(''A Dozen German Sausages From Brilliant to Wonderful'' ) at germanfood.about.com. Retrieved on 20 Mar 10.〕 It is eaten raw or after being stewed, giving it a spreadable consistency once broken from its casing, and is served with ''Grünkohl'' (kale) mainly in the cold season of the year and particularly in Northern Germany. The name ''Bregenwurst'' comes from the Low German word for "brain",〔The etymology is obvious if you compare the following Low German words: ''Bregen'' (brain), ''Regen'' (rain) and ''negen'' (nine).〕 which can be written either as ''Bregen'' or ''Brägen''.〔Adelung - Grammatisch-kritisches Wörterbuch der Hochdeutschen Mundart - Der Bregen: (lexika.digitale-sammlungen.de )〕 Despite its name, the ''Bregenwurst'' of today doesn't contain brain any longer due to BSE concerns. For that reason the processing of certain parts of animals for food has been prohibited since a couple of years ago.〔(''Leitsätze für Fleisch und Fleischerzeugnisse '' ) p.4; at bmelv.de.
