Weisswursttopf Brezn Senf
Weisswurst is a traditional Bavarian sausage made from very finely minced veal and fresh pork back bacon. It is served here with pretzels and sweet mustard.

Veal is the meat of young cattle (calves), in contrast to the beef from older cattle. Though veal can be produced from a calf of either sex and any breed, most veal comes from male calves (bull calves) of dairy cattle breeds. Generally, veal is more expensive than beef from older cattle.
