You are right about the wimpy buns, though. Fortunately, mine are not. 😛 No, seriously, nothing worse than a big juicy brat smothered in onions on a sorry little wonder-bread bun. Nope. Gotta have something nice and crusty. ---

Am I the ONLY person who read the thread title as “Condoms for Bratwurst”? Am I suffering from an overdose of hot doper men? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Qadgop the Mercotan \* > \*\*We Wisconsin Hollanders like our brats (Johnsonville or Sheboygan OK, nothing produced outside of Sheboygan County, tho) with a hamburger patty. We call 'em **Oostburgers**. We also generally have our first cardiac procedures performed around the age of 40. \*\* (laughing my head off because this is all too true) /wave from a Sheboygan-born, Dutch ancestry lass here. There’s even a Bratwurst Days festival in Sheboygan. 😉 Yes, the way to cook bratwurst is to cook them first in beer and onions, then grill. Serve on a hard roll, dammit, not a wussy bun. Onion and mustard (not yellow) are the traditional condiments, but the suggestions of kraut, pickle, and perhaps even tomato should be all right. (Tomato makes it sound like someone had a Chicago hot dog in mind.) ---

Not what’s made here in the states, but what is imported from France. (You can tell the real stuff, because it makes you sweat a bit). What I buy is called **Temeraire** Q ---

(I think this is their year though.) I just go for the tailgating though. 😉 Beer. Nothing goes better with a brat than a cold one, preferably a Leinies.
