What makes a bratwurst tavern?

In a traditional bratwurst tavern, Nuremberg Rostbratwursts are always served to guests in the same way. The golden rules are as follows:

The original Nuremberg Rostbratwursts must be grilled over an open fire. These sausages must always be original Nuremberg Rostbratwursts, either made in the inn’s own kitchen or sourced from a butcher or producer in Nuremberg.

A (heart-shaped) pewter dish is the authentic way to serve up these original Nuremberg Rostbratwursts. Typical side dishes: sauerkraut, potato salad, horseradish, and pastries.

Original Nuremberg Rostbratwursts must be served in very specific portions: 6, 8, 10, or 12. These same portions are used for “Saure Zipfel.” Other classic serving styles include “Drei im Weckla” (three in a roll), “Zwei rohe als G’häck-Weckla oder G’häck-Brot” (raw bratwurst meat in a roll or on bread), or “Eine auf der Gabel” (one on a fork).
