How to make it keto
ABSOLUTELY omit the pretzel (Breze) and the traditional sweet mustard (Süßer Senf). Request a regular, unsweetened German mustard (e.g., 'mittelscharf' or 'scharf').
Say this to the waiter (German)
Weisswurst ohne Brezn, bitte. Haben Sie einen normalen oder Dijon-Senf, idealerweise zuckerfrei?
Weisswurst without Brezn, please. Do you have a regular or Dijon mustard, ideally sugar-free?
Watch out for
Sweet mustard is the biggest risk, along with the pretzel. Some very cheap sausages *could* have fillers, but Weisswurst generally does not.
