Bavarian Breakfast

Please wish Bill a belated Happy Birthday in case you got so absorbed in the Super Bowl that you forgot there were other special things happening on Sunday.

I partook of my first Bavarian breakfast this Sunday. I have previously seen it in Bavaria but didn't give it too much thought and I have tried the various components at different times as well. Frank decided to bring it all together this weekend for the real thing.

A Bavarian breakfast is really more of a brunch and consists of soft pretzels, weißwurst (white sausage), sweet mustard, and hefeweißen (wheat beer). I think everyone knows the pretzels and beer. The sausage is white because it's veal-based (reference previous comments on why I'm willing to eat German veal and not American) and comes in a natural casing which must be cut and peeled prior to eating. You can see a few demonstrational videos on youtube if you look. The main point seems to be that the sausage not survive to see twelve noon.

Breakfast was followed by a round of Guitar Hero, which summarily addicted all males present on the game.
