The definitive Munich breakfast, a white veal-and-pork sausage flavored with fresh parsley, lemon, and mace. Traditionally, these sausages "should not hear the noon bells"—they are made fresh daily and served in a porcelain bowl of hot water before 12:00 PM. Order them as **'zwei Weißwürste mit Brezn'** (two white sausages with a pretzel) and never eat the skin; instead, **'zuzeln'** (suck) the meat out or peel it carefully. The trap is ordering them after midday or pairing them with anything other than sweet mustard and a wheat beer.
