    But they aren't all that small in the US. Typically, brats here are sold four to the pound.

    All you really need to know is that they're flavorful sausages a lot bigger than wienies, and they're absolutely delicious when grilled. Suppliers have gotten cute nowadays; they aell them with cheese in the middle, chopped jalapenos, etc.

    You can't go wrong by throwing a brat on the grill, and rolling it around until it's thoroughly browned --almost charred, in fact -- on all sides. Then you serve it on a large roll with brown mustard, and maybe some onions from the beer bath.

    If you're a Philistine, I suppose you could use yellow mustard or even ketchup....

    Dont you remember Allo Allo and the knockvurst down the trousers, Its a large sausage that looks like a ***** only larger.

    The Brat vurst is pork according to opinion here maybe the knockvurst is beef ---I have no idea.

    I like to slowly burn onions over a low heat for about 30mins, until caramelised and then add a little red wine....goes yumm with all sausages :)

    BTW, I live in Japan, not the Philippines :p

    Phillipines = phillistines? :)

    The Romans called the country of the Philistines "Palestine". :)

    So if you put yellow mustard or worse, ketchup on a brat, you are a palestinian, most likely muslim, and immediately subject to being incarcerated indefinitely (and justifiably tortured) at Guantanamo Bay. :)
    And since it's PORK, you'll even be ex-comunicated, or whatever they call the muslim version.

    If your a muslim and eat pork nothing happens unless some one sees you doing it and tells.

    Then you have to go to the Mosque say bla bla bla and then see if your shoes are still there on the way out. Bit like going to court for a parking fine, the time required to go is worse than a fine.

    Monalisa the muslim bar girl would try pork and beer but she did not swallow, she just wanted to see what the fuss was about.

    I liked her, she wore a mini skirt on Christmas day,---good girl.

    I pre-boil my Brats in beer with sage and onions and a little garlic then grill them on the Q. They are always the first to go when put up against anyone else's. This also gets a bit of the excess fat out of them and they grill up quicker without burning the skin.

    Brats are indeed good.
    But my absolute favorite sausages (two different but similar) are fresh italian pork sausage, and fresh green onion pork sausage. Fry em or grill em, or the best, after browning, cook them up in an low liquids stew, made with onions, plenty of romano tomatoes, sliced zuccinni. sliced yellow squash, chunked carrots, green peppers, and chunks of cabbage. Spicy! :) Serve as sandwiches on italian/french/cuban bread, or, over pasta. :)

    Never tried green onion pork sausage. But it sounds good, so I looked up a recipe for it: http://cappyandpegody.blogspot.com/2011/03/making-cajun-green-onion-sausage.html

    I won't be grinding my own pork though, if I ever make a 17-lb batch like they did; I only have a hand grinder. Fortunately, their recipe at the bottom of the page is for just 2 pounds.

    Have you noticed some breakfast sausage nowadays is so lean it shouldn't even be labeled sausage? I fried up some my wife had bought, intending to make sausage gravy for biscuits and gravy. It was worse than not having enough fat to make the gravy; I actually had to add a little oil.

    I could maybe understand, if it had been turkey or beef sausage, or low-fat pork. But it was labeled as ordinary pork sausage.:confused:

    When I was a youngster living with my parents, we raised rabbits and chickens, for meat. Also eggs from the hens. Dad also bought a hog and half a beef once a year. We had the entire hog ground into sausage and the lard tryed out and the cracklins. The sausage was spiced VERY hot. Same cost. We ground our own rabbit meat, and mixed 50/50 with the spiced ground pork. This made very lean medium spiced sausage patties. :)

    Check your ingredients for conejo. LOL
