At a guess it is a sweet German mustard intended to be eaten with
weisswurst (white sausages), that I think originally are from
Bavaria. I certainly ate lots of weisswurst the one time I was in
Munich. The ß is German for a double s.
I just tossed 'Weißwurstsenf'' into Google and it appears that I was
correct.
