Bregenwurst

Bregenwurst (also Brägenwurst) is a specialty sausage of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt traditionally made of pork, pork belly, and pig or cattle brain. It is eaten raw or after being stewed, giving it a spreadable consistency once broken from its casing, and is served with Grünkohl (kale). The name Bregenwurst comes from the Low German word for "brain" or "head", which can be written either as Bregen or Brägen. Despite its name, the Bregenwurst of today usually contains no brain due to BSE concerns.
