Can I boil the sausages instead of simmering?
No. Boiling bursts the casing and turns the texture mealy. Keep the water just below a simmer — you should see gentle movement, not bubbles breaking the surface.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
How do I peel the casing?
Cut lengthwise with a knife, then peel it off in one piece. Or grip one end with your teeth and suck the sausage out (zuzeln) — traditional, but takes practice.
Why only before noon?
Weisswurst spoils fast without refrigeration. The noon rule dates back to pre-refrigeration days when sausages made in the morning needed to be eaten quickly. It's now just custom, but locals still follow it.
