Sausage, potatoes, veg and gravy. Lidl do some German sausages that look a bit weird (white) but taste much like an English sausage when cooked (without all the fillers!).
There’s a fabulous Wurstbude (one of many) by the cathedral in Freiburg where I’ve been going for over 45 years, latterly with the daughters, Bratwurst, Thüringer Weisswurst, Bockwurst, Freiburger lange rote - all so good!
Not sure, I’ll have look next time I have some. In the summer they do a ‘saucisse a griller’ which taste identical in a kg 10 pack which are long and thin. Then some times they have mini ones with a herb in it which are yummy. Then in winter they do much fatter ones, 500gm 5 pack. I’ve learned they don’t always have them so try to stock up! I’m a bit funny about ‘bits’ in chipolata / merguez / Toulouse and don’t like all the fat cooking inside so they are great for me!
Love 'em, but the best I’ve ever had wasn’t in France, but in York at a French Christmas market twenty years ago - it had a sort of vanilla aftertaste…
But why are the best ones so expensive? €25 a kilo is the going rate for the top ones in Figeac.
My DIL got me eating Boudin Blanc for the first time last year. I have always had an aversion to things made from bits and pieces I’d rather not know about but when she showed me the ingredients and then cooked them, I was quite surprised and ate them all up. Its the noir and the thought of blood that makes me squirm as per the english black pudding stuff
Boudin is much nicer (imho) than black pudding, try boudin aux pommes, I was put off black pudding because we got it for breakfast at prep school and it had big lumps of nasty-textured fat in it, I don’t find boudin heave-making in the same way.
