Sausages from Rietmann Traiteur
Knackwurst
Germany
Knackwurst is a short, plump German sausage, famous for its audible snap when bitten. Pork and beef make up the base, seasoned boldly with garlic, pepper, and mustard seeds. Typically, people boil or fry it and serve it with bread or potato salad. The smoky aroma adds to its appeal.
Landjäger
Switzerland
Landjäger is a semi-dry, fermented sausage popular in Switzerland, southern Germany, Austria, and Alsace. It consists of beef and pork, plus lard, sugar, and spices, encased in natural or synthetic casing. Landjäger requires no refrigeration and is ideal as a hiking snack or a quick protein source. People often eat it with bread or cheese.
Schüblig
St. Gallen, Switzerland
The Schüblig is a smoked, scalded pork sausage from Eastern Switzerland, a staple of everyday Swiss cuisine. A bit curved, with a dark reddish-brown skin and a good snap when you bite in. Scored crosswise before grilling or pan-frying, creating its characteristic split-open look. Simpler and heartier than the St. Galler Bratwurst: the everyday sausage, smoky and comforting.
St. Galler Bratwurst
St. Gallen, Switzerland
The St. Galler Bratwurst (also known as Olma Bratwurst) is a fine-textured, white veal and pork sausage from St. Gallen in Eastern Switzerland. The addition of fresh milk sets it apart, giving it a smooth, almost creamy texture. It carries IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) status: only sausages produced in the greater St. Gallen region can bear the name.
