The original is at least 31 centimeters long and consists of at least 25 percent veal and beef. A special feature is the way of grilling, on well-dried pine cones (cool called) and not on charcoal, as usual. The length of the bratwurst should correspond to that of the marshal's baton, which the city saint Mauritius, also called bratwurst men, holds in his hand on the gable of the town hall. The bratwurst is served in a small roll that is cut lengthways from above. It is used more to hold the sausage and less as a side dish. One open every day 1 Bratwurst stand there is on the market square, which can be recognized from a distance by the clouds of smoke. Important - the Coburger eats his bratwurst without mustard.
The Coburg Fettmettwurst contains medium-coarse minced pork fillet with a layer of fat with a fine pepper note.
For Coburg ham Pieces of pork ham are cut from the upper and lower shells. The ham is salted dry and marinated with spices for four weeks. Then it comes in a milder curing position, then it matures for about three weeks, before being brought into a square shape in a ham press. Then it is smoked cold for 14 days and then matured again. The total weight loss is about 40%. Coburg core ham is protected and may only come from Bavaria.
