man I haven’t had a good bratwurst in a while. it’s all over the midwest but good examples (not johnsonville garbage) are harder to find out east. oddly this one was from a Polish food stall that also had kielbasa
>>21954195I had some recently from the grocer. They werent johnsonville but they were really good. Ive rarely eaten sausage in hot dog form. Majority of the time has been crumbles on pizza or crumbles period. The snap of the skin is nice.
>>21954195I love brats, I grew up and live in the Midwest, I think I have had more brats than hot dogs in my life. Have you tried any butcher shops?
>>21954206yeah, German delis and butchers are a pretty rare breed no matter which city you’re in. there’s one near me where I can get bratwurst plus weisswurst and knockwurst and I’m still seeking out others
>>21954195>it’s all over the midwestThe dirty secret is that, even here, most households still buy the Johnsonville-tier shit. No one's going to an old school German butcher, those barely exist anywhere. It's just that more people eat brats.
>>21954326My German guy retired. But Johnsonville is pretty good in a pinch. Currently get mine from some scatterbrained woman who sells her farm meat out of a trailer.
>>21954326Where do you live in the Midwest where people buy Johnsonville? I live in MO and that's borderline heresy.
>>21954195Not a big fan of bratwurst desu despite being a Midwesterner. I just don't like the meat to bun ratio with it, and the taste, while alright, isn't some marked improvement over the hot dog.
>>21954326Grew up in 1980s Iowa. My folks always bought Johnsonville. I remember as a kid I demanded that they be fresh and not pre-cooked because pre-cooked was absolutely disgusting and nothing like a real bratwurst. I always wondered what the fuck they did differently besides "cooking".
>>21954373yeah it's just kinda salty and not much else. kielbasa has a more interesting flavor
cant go wrong wiith this brand
>>21954671that is not bratwurst
>>21954673cant go wrong with this brand
>>21954195Try a pretzel bun next time.
>>21954326>>21954351>>21954569Johnsonville adds corn syrup
>>21954362lmao it's everywhere you lying piece of shit
>>21954195The pickle is too much.
>>21954195Do real Germans eat bratwurst regularly?
>>21957038Yeah. I stick with pork in general because it’s the only meat guaranteed not to be fucking halal.
>>21957042That's pretty stupid of you.
>>21954326>even hereNot sure what backwater shitpile you're busy banging your sister on, but here in Milwaukee area I have 4 old school German butchers within a 15 minute drive to choose from. None of my family would dare show up with a package of Johnsonville's because they know they'd have to eat them raw cuz they wouldn't be allowed on the grill.
>>21957405listen britney there aren't any good sausages in the united states of twerk
>>21957410There's that fag talk again.
>>21957418oh you're a bbc cuckold who vapes.
>>21957421>t. assmad that the dick shaped meat he was eating wasn't full of semen
>>21957405I bet you don’t have a single product from one of those four butchers in your possession right now. Not one.
>>21957510I have 3 freezers at 2 houses with numerous items from them. Why would you bet on something that fuckin retarded?
>>21957910>>21957421
>>21954326this was my experience as well. parents never went to local shops which was why they died out. they preferred big stores
>>21954326>Hy-Veenot even once
>>21958360Ironically, Hy-Vee has pretty good store brand bratwurst at the butcher counter that put Johnsonville to shame.
