The aptly named, Weisswurst, is a distinctive white sausage that originates from Bavaria, Germany. They may not be the best looking sausage out there, but they make up for that will a lovely mild flavor.
In Europe, these sausages are traditionally eaten for breakfast or a mid-morning snack. In Bavaria this is a strong tradition that started back in the early 1800s. But they are a fantastic sausage to eat at any time of the day and they pair well with a wide variety of side dishes.
In this recipe, adding cream to the sausage meat provides the white color and gives the meat a lovely creamy taste and texture.
