People of German heritage born and living in Sheboygan, Wisconsin eat Bratwurst grilled over charcoal and eat these as a sandwich. The classic way to eat this is called a double Brat served in a hard roll made in Sheboygan and featuring two brats served in the roll.

Growing up fifth generation German immigrant/homesteaders in a German community, we grew up on bratwurst with caraway (Kimmel), as well as raw beef and onions on rye. German potato salad was also a family staple. It was what we always had on July 4th.

I spent a couple years in southern Germany in the '80's and loved all the food but the Brats were always my favorite, usually with mustard and mashed potatoes. Also I never liked sauerkraut before living there but I loved it , usually with meat and other good things. I miss everything about Germany but the food I think about often. 😁

Ate a lot of brats while stationed in Frankfurt in the early 80’s. Brings back a lot of great memories!

You are 100% correct. It's tough to beat a truly good Wisconsin bratwurst, served on a bun with pickle relish, chopped onion, kraut, mustard and ketchup. A personal favorite are the Aldi's Bavarian style brats (made in Germany! Danke!!) from the grill during our fleeting summer. Nothing beats a bratwurst cooked on the backyard grill washed down with a cold beer! Mmmm, summer love.

I spent 2 1/2 years stationed in Germany and my first German dish was bratwurst and then today will always look for an authentic German bratwurst. Roll, mustard and some horseradish and I am in heaven !!!

When I buy bratwurst here in Sweden and prepare it at home, I tend to serve it with mashed potatoes and some pickles or sometimes even mashed potatoes and a bit of sauerkraut :)

When I was in Kassel in (ahem) 1971 the street vendors served bratwurst in a very small bun with a mustard sauce that I believe was made out of mustard, mayo and horseradish. That mustard sauce inspired me to create my own and I use a hot mustard available in America (Mister Mustard Original Hot Mustard) mayo and horseradish which I also used to make potato salad (mustard based). In my potato salad I use red potatoes, pickles, radishes, carrots and celery (julienned). I also use my mustard sauce to make deviled eggs.

when in Bayern in the 80's I enjoyed by Bratwurst on Brotchen with mustard and an order of pommes frites with curry and ketchup

Grandma's saurkraut was bacon cooked slowly rendering out all the fat, then take the bacon bits out before they are burned. Add a little beer to pan to de-glaze the pan and add your favorite kraut. And cook slowly to soften then add bacon bits back and put on brats and bread. She mad hard rolls like baguette bread but bun sized. Oh my! Like Germany in a spread! You can make it very soft or just heat it a bit so cabbage is still crispy

Additionally to the mustard we use just "fresh grated" horseraddish and not that bought cream mix you showed.
