Why Bratwurst deserves more attention

Bratwurst rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The smoky and satisfying complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using caraway seeds correctly takes real skill.

German bread culture is extraordinarily diverse with over 300 officially registered varieties. I encountered it first in a traditional Gasthaus and that context helped me understand it properly. weissbier is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Bratwurst is the dish to start with.
