What it is

Key ingredients
Bratwurst (pork sausage), sauerkraut (fermented cabbage), onions, caraway seeds, bay leaf, lard/oil for cooking. Optionally, a dollop of unsweetened mustard.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread, rolls, or potato sides are served. Verify sauerkraut is unsweetened; many restaurants add sugar. Check mustard for added sugars (ask for plain Dijon if available).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Die Bratwurst bitte ohne Brot, Brötchen oder Kartoffeln. Ist das Sauerkraut ungesüßt? Haben Sie einen einfachen Senf ohne Zuckerzusatz, vielleicht Dijon?
For the Bratwurst, no bread, rolls, or potatoes. Is the Sauerkraut unsweetened? Could I have plain Dijon mustard, please?
Watch out for
