Default Bockwurst

The Vermont Country Store had the Meica brand Bockwurst (jarred) on
clearance. I bought a jar to serve to my husband and bought (elsewhere)
some sauerkraut to go with it. There are 8 meat tubes in the jar. But...
It says that I have to use it all within 2 days of opening. Husband is the
only one who will eat this and not sure he could eat all 8 within 2 days.
Anyway... What else can I do with this stuff? I am not familiar with it at
all but it seemed like sauerkraut would be the right thing to serve with.
Husband does like German food but I am somewhat unfamiliar with it other
than Spaetzel which I seem to like more than he does. He is more of a meat
eater.

Thanks!

Ohhh... That's all they are? They are very long. He normally eats two hot
dogs at a time but of the normal sized ones. Should I then put these on a
bun? And why would they spoil so quickly? Regular hot dogs don't.

Does it say explicitly not to freeze it? If it doesn't tell you not
to, then put it in a zip lock bag and freeze it.

They probably don't have as many preservatives as regular hot dogs.

Priceless!

When I open a package of vursts, after eating them for lunch three days
in a row, I really start feeling guilty...

That could be. They are very long so they might not fit well in the
freezer. But I guess I could try that if he can't eat them all. Assuming
that he likes them. Here I thought I bought a fancy food.

Does not say. Thanks! But... Should I be serving these on a bun? Or how
else should I serve them?

If you're going to serve them with sauerkraut, how about some mashed
or boiled potatoes too? Instead of sauerkraut, you could make that
braised red cabbage someone was taking about recently. Here's the
Martha Stewart version. Jamie Oliver has one too - there are lots of
them.

A bun looks appropriate. It looks like a long skinny baloney to me.

Don't feel guilty. About 5 weeks ago, Joey Chestnut ate 69 dogs on
buns in only 10 minutes.

Assuming you won't even taste these, I would let husband decide how he
would like them. Heat up a small piece of one and let him taste it.
He will then have an idea of how they would be good.

And you can offer some suggestions too.
- with sauerkraut
- on a bun with condiments like a normal hotdog
- on a bun with loads of onions and green peppers cooked soft

I'll bet he would love that last choice. I sure would.

G.

PS - you mentioned they might be too long to store in the freezer.
If they are, just cut them. That goes for too long for a bun too.

Eesh! Well the good thing is that I didn't pay much for them. They did get
very good reviews.

Did you look at that recipe? And you recommended it? The picture of it
looks just like the recipe sounds - crap. Just goes to show that no
one is perfect, not even Martha.

If I wanted to ruin a head of red cabbage, I'd do it the easy way. Set
it on my driveway and drive back and forth over it a few times.

I'll have to look up Jamie Oliver's recipe later. I'll bet he treats
it with more respect.

Nah. That's not how he eats. If he had one taste he would want the food
right then.

Are onions and peppers typical?

Ohhhhh. Well now I feel stupid. I thought I had some sort of fancy German
food.

At least he had the smarts to use bacon and balsamic vinegar, and he
left out the sugar. I would try this one.

That's when you tell him to shut up and wait or go make them himself.
Screw his attitude. You are not his servant. He should be happy that
you do all the cooking.

Some saugages are to die for heated and smothered with onions and
green peppers on a bun. No condiments necessary...just a very fresh
bun. I'll bet you he would like that. Serve with a giant pile of
salty Lay's Classic potato chips.

Default Bockwurst



"Julie Bove" wrote in message ...

The Vermont Country Store had the Meica brand Bockwurst (jarred) on
clearance. I bought a jar to serve to my husband and bought (elsewhere)
some sauerkraut to go with it. There are 8 meat tubes in the jar. But...
It says that I have to use it all within 2 days of opening. Husband is the
only one who will eat this and not sure he could eat all 8 within 2 days.
Anyway... What else can I do with this stuff? I am not familiar with it at
all but it seemed like sauerkraut would be the right thing to serve with.
Husband does like German food but I am somewhat unfamiliar with it other
than Spaetzel which I seem to like more than he does. He is more of a meat
eater.

Thanks!

This article describes it as a very delicate German sausage that should be
frozen or consumed within a day or two:

No, my wife is too busy scrubbing them out with fruits and vegetables
the rest of the week...

Ah if they could only mash and extrude it into a natural casing I might
even like it--given enough mustard...

God help me, I even love the video. The only icky part for me is when
somebody squeezes a piddling amount of French's "mustard" on the vurst
with a doughy bun.

I can't help but wonder how fast it took him to extrude them himself.

I don't know from this Meica brand or tourist fare at WM/CP. But at a
couple of local German grocery stores and deli's they have these vursts
that are more regulation in size, have German language labels and are
clearly packed in some kind of vinegar. I've never bought any, and
though I love almost any kind of pickle--or vurst--the idea of a
pickled vurst just doesn't sit right in my brain.

I guess I'll get a jar just to find out what's what. My only real
mental image is the researcher gorging on them in "Kitchen Stories".

I prefer knockwurst... sometimes written knackwurst... very good with
baked beans. I searched the Vermont Country Store web site, no
bratwurst... they do have jarred "pickled sausage", not much info.
Bratwurst is close to kielbasa, knockwurst is more a
frankfurter/hotdog, just shorter, plumper, and a bit spicier.
