Weisswurst

This sausage is fully steam cooked, white in color and consists of pork, and parsley. It is mild in flavor with a hint of green onions and lemon and stuffed in a pork casing. This is the official sausage of the Oktoberfest in Munich, although it is enjoyed year round by city residents. This sausage originated in the days of little refrigeration, so it was traditionally eaten in the mornings while still fresh. The old saying was that the Weisswurst should never hear the church bells ring at the noon hour.
