Help! How do I prepare this traditional German meal?

Question

Ok here is what I have to work with:

-Nurnberger German pre-cooked bratwurst

-German mustard

-German potato salad

-Saukraut

I also have hot dog buns available. How do the Germans traditionally eat their meals? Do they use the hot dog buns or no? Thanks!

Answer 1

No hotdog buns.  Germans like black bread (pumpernickle) with bratwurst.

Answer 2

O.K. this is how you do it: You fry the Nuernberger Bratwurst (they look cute that small don´t they?), until they are brown (little crispy skin is o.k. too) on both sides (I´d say  about 6 min on each side over medium heat, turn every 2-3 min).

The Sauerkraut (hope it is in a can otherwise we have a problem), you just put in a skillet and simmer it about 20 min (do not boil). If you like to "spice" it  up a bit, chop a fresh onion, and fry them in butter, then mix in the sauerkraut. You do not eat potato salad with sauerkraut. With the sausage and the "k***t" you eat mashed potatoes (either made from scratch or instant is o.k. too), some people like their sausage with mustard, some don´t so do not put it on the plate, just set it on the table.

You can fix potato salad and Bratwurst, but usually Germans eat "Wienerle" (like a hot dog, but longer) with potato salad.

No, no hot buns with the meal. Germans usually do not know hot dog buns ( unless they are around Americans :)

What you are thinking of are "Broetchen", roles made out of yeast doe.

So "Guten Appetit" (= good appetite, or hope you enjoy your meal)

Answer 3

no hot dog buns. This traditional meal is served with various types of mustards on the braut. saukraut is actionally optional. when i cook this i make a traditional bayern style salad with a baltsamic vinegrette. traditionally, this is served with a light beer. and no ketchup! have fun~

Answer 4

.... here in Nuernberg we eat Bratwurst with "Kren" (Prepared horseradish)  when its serverd with k***t and with mustard when its in "Broetchen" for eating en route.

Forget about becks, just any beer you like that hasnt too much sweetness.

Answer 5

I laugh at your light beer! and I agree no need for hot dog buns, unless there are Americans eating with you. Just be sure to have a knife and fork because they eat EVERYTHING with a knife and fork!
