History
The Weisswurst was created in Munich on February 22, 1857 by the butcher Joseph Moser who created the sausage by mistake. He was in the process of making his daily bratwurst, but realized that he didn't have all the ingredients. To please his customers, who were demanding their sausages, he quickly put the ingredients he had together, filled casings with the mixture, and boiled the sausage (he didn't grill them because he feared they would split open). His customers loved his new creation.
