TheInfoList



OR:

''Bregenwurst'' (also ''Brägenwurst'') is a German sausage variety commonly served in parts of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. It is traditionally made of pork, pork belly, and pig or cattle brain, however animal brains have been forbidden in foodstuffs within the European Union since 2001, as a consequence of Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, BSE outbreaks. The sausage is eaten raw or stewed, which gives it a spreadable consistency once broken from its casing. In winter it is also served with ''Grünkohl'' (kale). The name ''Bregenwurst'' comes from the Low German word ''Bregen'' (or ''Brägen'') meaning "brain" .Adelung - Grammatisch-kritisches Wörterbuch der Hochdeutschen Mundart - Der Bregen
