Weisswurst (ohne Brezel/Süßen Senf)
Bavarian White Sausage (without Pretzel or Sweet Mustard)
Yes, with a tweak: omit the traditional pretzel (Brezel). About 6g net carbs per serving, lower than 6 in 10 German dishes.
What it is
A traditional Bavarian specialty, these delicate white sausages are made from minced veal and pork back bacon, seasoned with parsley, lemon zest, mace, and onions. They are gently boiled and typically served with a pretzel and sweet mustard. For keto, the pretzel and sweet mustard are omitted.
Key ingredients
Veal, pork back bacon, parsley, lemon zest, mace, onions, salt, pepper. Served with regular mustard.
How to make it keto
Omit the traditional pretzel (Brezel). Request regular (e.g., Dijon or spicy) mustard instead of the high-sugar 'Süßer Senf' (sweet mustard), or use the sweet mustard very sparingly if carb count allows.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte ohne Brezn. Ich hätte gerne ungesüßten Senf oder einfachen Dijon. Sind in der Weißwurst Bindemittel enthalten?
Please omit the Brezn. I'd like unsweetened mustard or plain Dijon. Are there any significant fillers in the Weisswurst?
Watch out for
The traditional sweet Weisswurst mustard (very high in sugar), the pretzel.
