Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]

The St. Galler Bratwurst is made from a mixture of veal, pork, bacon, and milk, along with various spices. The ingredients are finely ground and then stuffed into a natural casing. The sausage is typically cooked over a wood or charcoal fire, which gives it a distinctive smoky flavor. Unlike other types of Bratwurst, the St. Galler Bratwurst is not served with mustard, but rather with a special sauce made from onions and white wine.
