Bockwurst is a traditional German sausage made from minced veal and pork, flavored with salt, pepper, and paprika. Unlike Currywurst, it is gently heated in hot water rather than fried or grilled. It is traditionally served whole with a dollop of sharp mustard and a plain white roll on the side. The trap is buying it from a street vendor where it has been sitting in water for hours, making it soggy. Budget €3-6 for a quick snack, and look for it at traditional butchers, market halls, or classic Imbiss stands.
