Birthday sausage

It turns out that the sausage also has its own birthday. The holiday is celebrated annually on November 13th. This day was chosen for a reason - on November 13, 1805, the sausage product, popular all over the world, was made and prepared for the first time. The “father” of the aromatic meat dish is considered to be Johann Laner, an ordinary butcher from Vienna. The recipe for the world-famous dish turned out to be as simple as anything ingenious: Laner mixed minced pork and beef in approximately equal proportions, and also added aromatic spices to taste. This is interesting: A real Vienna sausage contains more than just pork. The composition includes fresh lard, ice and spices - the correct proportion of these components gives the delicacy an unusual juiciness. It is also customary to smoke the product with beech wood smoke, only after which the meat dish is cooked. In the Bavarian town of Hasseldorf there is a monument to Laner, which was erected by grateful descendants. Next to the monument there is an accompanying plaque that describes in detail the history of the creation of the familiar meat product. The monument itself is quite unusual and attracts the attention of tourists - Laner stands with his hand outstretched, in it he holds a fork with a speared meat delicacy. Mustard was chosen as the sauce - it was depicted so realistically that tourists strive to take pictures in front of the monument. It turns out that there are also sausages for vegetarians - the composition includes vegetables, ground beans, sprouted wheat, bran, and seaweed. Sweet sausages for serving for dessert contain condensed milk, finely crumbled cookies, raisins and nuts. It's very simple - buy some unusual sausages, the flavors of which you have never tried before. For example, with cheese, with ketchup, with Provençal herbs, etc. Boil them, serve them beautifully along with the sauce, and invite friends. Be sure to tell them the history of this popular delicacy - this can spark an interesting conversation. You can cook a hot dog - this dish is simply impossible to imagine without sausage in the composition. Improvisation is encouraged - you shouldn’t limit yourself to bread and sausage. You can and should add onions fried until crispy, pickles, ketchup and mayonnaise. If possible, you can plan a tourist trip to the homeland of the meat delicacy. In Germany and Austria, sausage is a national dish; more than a thousand variations of the popular product have been invented here. Debrecen ones with hot paprika, as well as Frankfurt ones with horse meat are considered exclusive.
