Gelbwurst

thumb|Sliced Gelbwurst on a bun Gelbwurst, meaning “yellow sausage”, is a traditional sausage and deli meat from Bavaria, Germany.

== Description == Gelbwurst was invented in 1905 and is made from pork, veal, and a combination of spices such as ginger and nutmeg. Traditionally, the sausage contained brains, though this is no longer the case, it is still sometimes referred to as Hirnwurst ("brain sausage") in certain parts of Germany. Gelbwurst is yellowish-white and usually has a yellow or orange rind around its edge. It is often served as cold-cuts on slices of bread. Today the addition of brains is uncommon, the consumption of animal brains having fallen out of consumer preference. The use of bovine brains has been banned since the BSE crisis in 2000.
