Don't boil them whatever you do. They need to be very slowly simmered for up to ten minutes. Any contcat with boiling water and they'll split. When you eat them, you peel the skin off and eat the inside. Serve with pretzel (bretzi) and sweet mustard. The best Bavarian one is [1]Handlmaier's. I'll be downing some next weekend at Octoberfest. ### SCOTT PLIMPTON, LONDON UK PHONE +44 7791 624 394 EMAIL scott@xxxxxxxx.xxx BLOG www.plimpton.org ***Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail*** ### ----- Original message ----- From: [2]"Rev Simon Rumble" <simon@xxxxxx.xxx> To: [3]london.food@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2006 03:25:20 +0100 Subject: Re: [london.food] Steaming Sausages over Beer This one time, at band camp, John Costello wrote: > > Anybody have any experience of steaming sausages?

One or two punctures might be okay. Weisswurst most certainly should NOT be punctured. It'll end up waterlogged and ooze all over the place. They're nothing like as fatty as English bangers. > At a guess, I'd say 10-15 minutes boiling time. Add a "sacrifice" sausage > to use for checking.
