Spice level warning — Bratwurst is not what I expected

I underestimated Bratwurst. The robust and filling description didn't prepare me for the reality. mustard brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

regional specialities vary dramatically between Bavaria, Saxony, and the Rhineland. The a winter Christmas market setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. Riesling cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
