Weißwurst
Bavarian White Sausage without Pretzel, with Plain Mustard
Yes, with a tweak: ask for no pretzel (Brezel). About 5g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 German dishes.
What it is
A traditional Bavarian white sausage, gently poached, made from finely minced veal and pork back bacon, seasoned with parsley, lemon zest, and mild spices.
Key ingredients
Veal, pork back bacon, parsley, lemon zest, onion, spices (ginger, cardamom, mace), salt.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for no pretzel (Brezel). Request plain mustard (Senf) or a very small portion of traditional sweet mustard (which is extremely high in sugar).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Zur Weißwurst, bitte keine Brezel. Ich hätte gerne einfachen Senf.
For the Weißwurst, please no pretzel. I would like plain mustard.
Watch out for
The accompanying pretzel is very high carb. Traditional Bavarian sweet mustard (Weisswurstsenf) is notoriously high in sugar.
