It's a white sausage about the size of Piller's Knockwurst, very mild tasting and I used to call it an "octoberfest sausage' but have been told that it isn't....We tried St.Lawrence Market (many shops) and couldn't find it or anything that was white & mild...so what is it? and where can I find it?? Tue Jun 30 16:32:32 -0700 2009 78717 pearlD 1 4819485 Whitehouse Meats used to carry it, and it was pretty good. Not sure how authentic, but the kind you re-heated, peeled and ate with a bit of mustard, if that's what you're after. I'm pretty sure i've seen a version from Brandt. Let me think some more. Tue Jun 30 16:37:10 -0700 2009 4819473 157056 grandgourmand 1 4819549 Reithers on Church Street has the best. Tue Jun 30 16:59:17 -0700 2009 4819473 306522 malpeque 2 4819703 Another vote for Reithers here. Tue Jun 30 17:57:38 -0700 2009 4819549 472692 simplepieman 1 4819916 Denningers and Brandt make good weisswurst. Brandt's is closer. It's on the Toronto Mississauga border http://www.brandtmeats.com/ http://www.denningers.com Weisswurst is a Bavarian specialty. Fresh veal sausage that you eat soon after it's made. Tue Jun 30 19:31:22 -0700 2009 4819473 10636 mikeb 2 4820545 Thank you so much 'mikeb'......I will check out both of these places, probably Brandt first! Most of all thanks for enlightening me about the 'veal'...I thought that veal was indeed the filling but wasn't sure . A big surprize for me, my husband brought some 'weisswurst' home from the Byward (?) Market in Montreal where he actually took time out from the Reggae Festival to go to the Market. He also brought home a 'tarte au sucre' and maple fudge!!! What a guy! Wed Jul 01 05:55:13 -0700 2009 4819916 78717 pearlD 3 4820550 Byward Market is in Ottawa...you're thinking Atwater probably (sounds more similar than Jean Talon). Wed Jul 01 05:57:47 -0700 2009 4820545 157056 grandgourmand 4 4820740 Totally right 'grandgourmand'! It was "Atwater Market"! I'm thinking Byward because we'll be going to Wakefield (P.Q.) for a weekend in August and one of our stops for certain is always the Byward Market in Ottawa, followed by La Confisserie in Wakefield for my Maple Fudge fix!!! Wed Jul 01 07:10:34 -0700 2009 4820550 78717 pearlD 3 4824787 Brandt wurst is very tough to beat--hyper-fresh from their plant next door. Great selection of German-style cold cuts and cured/smoked meats along with a good range of packaged/canned foods, too. Try their lunch counter for your monthly dose of HDL heaven. Thu Jul 02 10:58:59 -0700 2009 4820545 16382 Kagemusha 4 4824870 FYI...the Brandt Weisswurst is all pork. I saw a pack at the store the other day and checked the ingredients. Not sure if the stuff sold at the plant is any different. It's probably very tasty, but the original version is veal, as someone mentioned above. Thu Jul 02 11:23:35 -0700 2009 4824787 157056 grandgourmand 5 4825046 Try the factory store. Their supermarket product range is a fraction of what they make and sell at the plant. Thu Jul 02 12:23:18 -0700 2009 4824870 16382 Kagemusha 6 4825265 I'm gonna make it up there at some point...the thing is, I enjoy making my own sausage, so it's tough to go out of my way for sausage. But hey, can't have too much of the stuff. Thu Jul 02 13:42:19 -0700 2009 4825046 157056 grandgourmand 1 4824475 El Gaucho, in the north St Lawrence Market (Saturdays only) carries a nice weisswurst. Get there fairly early, as it's often sold out by noon, They also have a nice veal sausage with spinach that's much like weisswurst. Thu Jul 02 09:35:25 -0700 2009 4819473 147194 Ted Richards 2 4824682 I THINK Gaucho's Liberty Village location should be open by now as well. They were supposed to be open in June but I haven't had a chance to get out there yet. You could try to call them up and see but this is the only number i could find phone: (905) 689-0950 Thu Jul 02 10:27:54 -0700 2009 4824475 225662 CoffeeAddict416 1 4824531 The Cheese Boutique near the Queensway and the South Kingsway almost always has fresh in house made Weisswurst. Thu Jul 02 09:50:16 -0700 2009 4819473 221654 salumifan 2 4824840 Holy Cow! Thanks for all the suggestions...it will take me a bit to get through them...We're also going to St. Jacobs Mkt. next week where I'll also have a look.... Thu Jul 02 11:15:15 -0700 2009 4824531 78717 pearlD 1 4825561 This may be slightly off topic but has anyone ever found a sausage resembling the Rochester (NY) white hot here in Toronto? They're like a red hot but white. Thu Jul 02 15:15:26 -0700 2009 4819473 215061 Sarg5 2 4826918 I have seen Weisswurst (veal sausage) at the Superstore in Georgetown. Vacuum packed in the cheese/deli area. They are fairly decent. Also, Ziggy's years ago used to carry it. And as mentioned Brandt's have their own version. Karpatty in Brampton as well sells their own version, not sure of the details but have seen it there and their products are impecably fresh. Fri Jul 03 06:51:11 -0700 2009 4825561 155664 foodie_guru 1 4827309 The European Deli Stop at Parkway Mall (V.P. and Ellesmere) carry a great selection of European sausages including Weisswurst. Always fresh and good quality. They also have a great selection of good quality European cold cuts (smoked/cured and fresh) at very good prices (much less than typical supermarket deli prices). Although the store is small, it has great deli selection as well as some pastries and a lot of Polish and German products. Fri Jul 03 09:20:39 -0700 2009 4819473 1090568 Aislyn 1 4827465 If your out in Scarborough, you can check out Ruppelt's Delcatessen on Markham Road just North of Eglinton. Thay make a variety of home made sausages including weisswurst which are all very good. Fri Jul 03 10:26:51 -0700 2009 4819473 1090585 TOChowDawg 1 4829435 I bought some Weisswurst at SLM this morning, from the place near the southeast corner of the North Market. (There was no signage that I could see, but the SLM website map says they're called Town & Country Farms.) The girl behind the counter said it was "very fresh" and that it was made with veal, pork, and spinach. I just had one for lunch and I have to say it was excellent. I spent a year as a student in Vienna, long long ago, and had plenty of Weisswurst while there, and this reminds me exactly of what it tasted like. Hints: Simmer for five minutes (no longer!) in 1/2 inch of hot water, peel off the skin before eating, and have a good Bavarian Sweet mustard handy. My favourite is Loewensenf. I guess I should have gotten some from El Gaucho as well, in order to compare. Oh well, there's always next week... Sat Jul 04 11:05:23 -0700 2009 4819473 472692 simplepieman 2 4829622 Hey, where do you get your Loewensenf? Sat Jul 04 13:02:15 -0700 2009 4829435 157056 grandgourmand 3 4829878 Brandt carries it along with a ton of other mustard--around $3/jar. Sat Jul 04 15:25:47 -0700 2009 4829622 16382 Kagemusha 3 4830650 I got mine at Reither's for $4.99, so I guess I overpaid. They also carry other brands like Hengstenberg and Kuehne. They used to sell my all-time favourite, Mautner Markhof tarragon mustard, but that was years ago. Now I order it online from Austria, and the postage is absolutely brutal.
