I thought exactly the same thing to myself one morning while eating sausage and drinking beer for breakfast. If we were honest, isn’t that what we all want really?Ĭan you be unhappy with having a whole plate of sausages to yourself? Not only that, but you have the excuse that “it is a little part of history” and that “This is what the locals do!”. Usually it lacks the flair and visual appeal of French cuisine, and it lacks the perfect ingredient combinations of Italian cooking. This is what I have generally found about German food It is not amazing. It probably won’t even be the nicest food that you eat in Germany. To be honest, it won’t be the nicest food that you ever eat. You will also look at the plates of the other people as they walk out of the kitchen having just been served. The smells that rise up will confuse you and make you think ‘ Hmm… maybe I should get more than I originally planned to‘. You will love the smell of the pale, thin, succulent bratwurst grilling in the kitchen. They sell a 100ml jar, which is the perfect size for those of you who only have hand luggage. If you want to do the same, I recommend the brand Handlmaier which is available in most supermarkets in the region. Still, I did take a jar of it home from Bavaria with me. However, I wasn’t a huge fan of this sweet mustard. It won’t be to everybody’s taste, but it is definitely worth a try while you are in the region. Meanwhile, the sweet mustard is a special darker-and-sweeter-than-usual mustard particular to Bavaria. Sauerkraut is of course the go to side dish to eat with your sausages. Being Bavaria, the kitchen also offers beer to go alongside your bratwurst. Alternatively, 2 bratwursts in a bun will set you back €3 and is perfect for eating on the go. You can order anywhere from 6 (€9.60) to 12 sausages (€19) on your plate. Their menu does also mention a few other dishes like potato soup and salads, but let’s be real. Sausages (bratwurst), bread buns, sauerkraut and süßer senf (sweet mustard). The menu options at this sausage restaurant are simple. Just plonk yourself at the end of it! The Menu In fact, when you get here, you will know where to go because of this queue. The rest of the queue snakes outside the door and into the courtyard. The actual kitchen area is only just big enough to house a large grill on which to cook the sausages and the first few people in the queue. However, studies have shown that the design and dimensions are very similar to the previous 12th century building. The building that houses the current sausage restaurant was erected in the 17th century. If you wish to, you can take a river boat here to Vienna in Austria for a nice scenic boat cruise. The other main point of interest, I would say, is that our old friend, the river Danube, passes through the town.
We stayed longer because we were visiting friends and because there was a ‘Dult’ beer festival on, but if it were not for those facts, I think that 2 days would have been plenty. There isn’t too much reason to stay in Regensburg longer than that, from a tourist perspective. Mind you, seeing the whole town by foot is something that can comfortably be done in a day. This gives you a good vantage point from where you can comfortably see the whole of the town. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church is nothing so spectacular itself, but it does have a tall tower which can be climbed up, for a small entrance fee (2 euros). There is also a Lutheran church not far away from St Peter’s. According to its Wikipedia page, the cathedral is considered “ the most significant Gothis work in Southern Germany”. Work on the Gothic style cathedral was completed in 1520, although the initial church on the site was built around the year 700. Before I start talking about the actual bangers (‘banger’ is an affectionate British nickname for a sausage), I’ll set the scene and write a little bit about the town of Regensburg itself. Well Germany is exactly where you’ll find the world’s oldest sausage kitchen In a small Bavarian town called Regensburg. Where else but Germany? The land that gave us wurst and the Frankfurter. But where did the humble sausage begin its life? Only then did I find out that he already had one. Last year I even bought a sausage maker for my father, who is a bit of a hobbyist make-it-yourselfer. Why, if you are a big enough fan, you can attend sausage festivals all around the world. Sausages are never the same from one country to another. From the chorizos of the Iberian Peninsula to Romanian mici to the majestic British Cumberland. Almost every country has its own traditional version of the humble sausage. These days they are quite literally everywhere. In this article, I get my hands on what is widely considered to be the world’s oldest sausage kitchen. World’s Oldest Sausage! - Wurstkuchl, Regensburg
