Traditional white sausage breakfast as a cultural asset


 "Weisswurst" - white sausage with sweet mustard, a pretzel and a wheat beer are a breakfast classic in Munich - Bavarians love savory foods Weisswurst is a cultural asset in Bavaria!!! (GERMAN)


Munich - a cosmopolitan city with a heart! ... the food also has to be hearty. A must: traditional white sausage breakfast in Munich. In the Hofbräuhaus (Platzl 9, 80331 M.), even the locals have a Oktoberfest feeling. But please: Dear guests of the city of Munich, do not order ketchup with your Weißwurst and stick to the Weißwurstverzerr etiquette, which we would like to present below. Because the national dish, which is traditionally only served until 12 p.m., is a cultural asset!!! 


The real Bavarian white sausage breakfast also needs a pretzel, delicious sweet mustard and a nice, fresh wheat beer (alcohol-free is also available) - sometimes parsley and radishes are served with it. If you want, you can also order an Obazda.


 Incidentally, wheat beer is a good basis for the white sausage breakfast here, because fat lubricates the stomach and the pretzel absorbs the alcohol.


If you want to try out original Bavarian food, we recommend typical dishes such as Leberkäs, pork knuckle, Bavarian potato dumplings, Obazda, Bavarian meat patties, Bavarian cabbage and Bavarian plum datschi with a mug of coffee. Of course one of these dishes every day and not all at once!!! By the way, there is also a traditional artisan breakfast or "second breakfast" consisting of a butter pretzel or a liver loaf roll. Recently also in great demand as Leberkäs kebab or artisan kebab.


Let's stick with the white sausage breakfast first

There is a Bavarian commandment for the Weißwurst in this country: "Eat the Weißwurst before 12 o'clock!" According to old custom, she is not allowed to hear the twelve o'clock ringing from the church tower. The reason for this? In the past, the white sausage was prepared fresh in the morning and immediately sold raw. So please make sure to eat before lunch!


BUT: The Augustiner Bräustuben (Landsberger Straße 19, 80339 M.) have longer Weißwurst serving times - because in the Augustiner Bräustuben the Weißwurst is served until 1 p.m. 


How is a white sausage in Munich? If we dare to enjoy a white sausage, then the following must be taken into account:

Traditionally, order Munich white sausages with sweet mustard, pretzels and wheat beer as a snack in the morning.
