What are the ingredients in those things? I would try brats except I don't like food containing mystery ingredients. I'll eat Hebrew National hotdogs, but that is about it.

Lets get past health. It's over-rated.
We're talkin brats. On the 4th of July weekend.
I'm going to make Fred's mom's P-salad as side dish.
What shall I do with them?

I would suggest you put them on the grill, but you folks in Cali like to be "different", so.....

Out of the pack, onto the grill, cooked, taken off grill....and then....what?
Put them a bun and eat it..plain?
That's your recipe?

I add sauteed onions and red peppers and deli mustard.

Don't overthink the brats...enjoy them.

Actually, you're right. I like a little German mustard but thats it.
I was just hopin someone here had Fraulein granny's secret ingredient to 'kick it up a notch'. Like...marinate them in a good lager or something

Put some REAL sauerkraut on 'em with the mustard. I have 'em that way most of the times but do the sauteed onions and peppers almost as much.

I was going to do a smoked pork loin but our guests had to cancel due to the wife waking up this morning with an impacted tooth/swollen face. I told Rick he needs to stop beating his wife!
So I think I may go with brats tomorrow too! And Walt's mom's outstanding tater salad but I'm going to add celery and, dig this, a smidgen of minced fresh jalapeno!!
That's the secret ingredient in wifey's awesome homemade cole slaw...

I actually have a jar of Kraut in the fridge. WooHoo...Didn't even think of it.
Like the sauteed onions/red pepper idea as well.

I also bought some Portuguese linguica and will be messin' with those as well.
