Bregenwurst (also Brägenwurst) is a German sausage variety commonly served in parts of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
It is traditionally made of pork, pork belly, and pig or cattle brain,[1][2] however animal brains have been forbidden in foodstuffs within the European Union since 2001, as a consequence of BSE outbreaks.[3]
The sausage is eaten raw or stewed, which gives it a spreadable consistency once broken from its casing. In winter it is also served with Grünkohl (kale).
The name Bregenwurst comes from the Low German word Bregen (orBrägen) meaning "brain" .[4]
