Munich sausages in the broth
Munich sausages are a traditional breakfast of a native of Bavaria. They are served at the table with fresh pretzel, sprinkled with salt, sweet mustard and light unfiltered beer no later than 12 noon. Traditionally, white sausages are served along with the broth, where they were cooked, or rather heated to a certain temperature. Thanks to this, they remain incredibly juicy inside.
Munich sausages can be prepared at home. However, to make them juicy, it is necessary to control the temperature of the stuffing inside the sausages themselves, and for this you need a thermometer with a metal probe.
