The Pleasures of the Table: An Account of Gastronomy from Ancient Days to Present Times. With a History of Its Literature, Schools, and Most Distinguished Artists; Together With Some Special Recipes, and Views Concerning the Aesthetics of Dinners and Dinner-giving
Ellwanger, George H. (George Herman)
Gastronomy
Of the innumerable varieties, the well-known Cervelat is the largest,
and of these the most colossal come from Braunschweig, which also
produces the finest Knack-and Zungenwürste, the finest truffled
geese-liver as well as calves'-liver sausages coming from Strassburg.
Although the Plockwurst, the diminutive Wienerbrühwürstchen, the tiny
Lübecker Saucisschen, the Schlackwurst, and very many other kinds are
not included in the subjoined list relating to this specialty, its
perusal will be found of absorbing interest by the connoisseur, and
its study remind the too unobservant traveller who has sojourned in
Germany of, alas! how many neglected opportunities. The quotations are
given in marks and kilograms, the mark equalling twenty-five cents and
the kilogram being equivalent to a little over two pounds. The record
being that of a north-German shop, southern Germany is only meagrely
represented, and the list sounds its own praises too well to call for
comment:
