Bratwurst!

On a quest for authentic Swiss hole-in-the-wall food, Gie suggested that we go to
Vordere Sternen for some Bratwurst. Something that I have discovered here in Suisse is that there are rarely hole-in-the-walls. So maybe I am spoiled by my Santanas and my Lu Bien Tans in Taiwan.. but seriously- all countries need have to have a quick tasty bite to eat place. Vordere Sternen is exactly that. The Swiss really do make things so simple- A Bratwurst, a piece of bread in the other hand, some spicy mustard and violà street food!
The grill is clean, menu is simple and the guys behind the counter churns the line at lightning speed.
Pre-measured mustards lie off to the side, a hug bin of bread next to that. You order, the guy grabs a Bratwurst off the grill and off you go to one of the standing tables.
I am a big fan of texture and the crispy burnt outside of the sausage but still succulent and well seasoned interior of the sausage made for an enjoyable lunchtime treat- that and the fact that I will drench anything in spicy mustard and think it is delicious..
Why don't they just stick the sausage and bread together? I guess there is something fun about getting crusty bread crumbs everywhere- except for those of us who are OCD and feel the compulsion to wipe the bread crumbs off the tables every 5 seconds...
