A Weisswurst (German ''Weißwurst'' , literally ''white sausage''; ) is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from minced veal and pork back bacon. It is usually flavoured with parsley, lemon, mace, onions, ginger, and cardamom, although there are some variations. Then the mixture is stuffed into pork casings and separated into individual sausages measuring about ten to twelve centimeters in length and about two centimeters in thickness. As they are very perishable, ''Weisswürste'' traditionally were manufactured early in the morning and prepared and eaten as a snack between breakfast and lunch; there is a saying that the sausages should not be allowed to hear the noon chime of the church bells. Traditionally, ''Weisswürste'' may only be served until midday because preservatives are not used, the meat is not smoked, and hence the sausage is made fresh every day; indeed, they are sometimes called morning sausages. Before modern refrigeration technologies, in summertime the sausages would go bad before nightfall. Even today, most Bavarians eat ''Weisswürste'' before noon. The sausages are heated in water—well short of boiling—for about ten minutes, which will turn them greyish-white because no color-preserving nitrite is used in Weisswurst preparation. ''Weisswürste'' are brought to the table in a big bowl together with the hot water used for preparation (so they do not cool down too much), then eaten without their skins. Ways of eating ''Weisswurst'' include the traditional way, called ''zuzeln'' (Bavarian for sucking), in which each end of the sausage is cut or bitten open, then the meat is sucked out from the skin.〔 Alternatively, the more popular and more discreet ways of consuming it are by cutting the sausage lengthwise and then "rolling out" the meat from the skin with a fork, or just ripping the sausage apart and consuming the filling.〔 ''Weisswurst'' is commonly served with a special Bavarian sweet mustard (''Weisswurstsenf'') and accompanied by Brezen (Bavarian ''Pretzel''—often spelled ''Brezeln'' outside of Bavaria) and ''Weissbier''.〔 ''Weisswurst'', whose consumption traditionally is associated with Bavaria, helped in the coining of a humorous term, ''Weißwurstäquator'' (literally, white sausage equator), that delineates a cultural boundary separating other linguistic and cultural areas from Southern Germany. == See also == * Bockwurst * Brühwurst * List of veal dishes * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「weisswurst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
