Notes

How to eat Weisswurst

Zuzeln - like a Bavarian

To eat the Weisswurst like a Bavarian, you hold it between two fingers. On one end, you bite an opening into the casing.
If you like you can dunk it into some sweet mustard (affiliate link).
Suck the meat out of the casing.
Once you reach the halfway mark of the sausage you can either peel the remaining casing off or turn it around and start again.

With Knife and Fork - the Banana Method

If you prefer eating with a knife and fork, you use can make a lengthwise incision into the sausage. With the fork, you can fold away and remove the casing.
