Do they sell authentic German bratwurst, sausages, and wieners in supermarkets?

Question

I loved the sausages I ate when I visited Vienna this past Spring. Do major supermarkets like Pathmark, Shoprite, etc. carry these kind of sausages? Thanks!

Answer 1

Major supermarkets usually carry (un)reasonable facsimiles. I'd try a local German deli. They usually make their own and they'll have a really wide variety which may include weisswurst and knackwurst.

Good Eating!

Answer 5

No, unfortunately, they don't.  The next best thing, depending on where you live would be a german butcher and cold cut store or here, on-line, where many a sausage is bought and sold.
