History
In 1894 the Gref-Völsings butchery on Hanauer Landstraße began producing a sausage of pure beef, opening Frankfurt's sausage tradition to residents whose faith ruled out pork. It became a working city's staple across every community, and the firm, now in its fifth generation, still calls its version the original. The Braterei window on the same street sells them hot at lunchtime as it has for over a century, and the queue of office workers and tradespeople is its own institution.

Ingredients
- 4 Rindswurst, from a German butcher or specialist importer
- Crusty rolls
- Medium mustard
- Optional: sauerkraut, warmed
Method
- Heat a pan of water to just below a simmer.
- Warm the Rindswurst in the water for about 10 minutes without letting it boil.
- Serve tucked into a roll with mustard, or beside warm sauerkraut.
Tip from the editors. Like the Frankfurter, the Rindswurst is warmed, never boiled; a split casing means the water was too hot.

Why locals goA weekday-lunch-only butcher window on an Ostend traffic artery; you must know the Rindswurst story to bother stopping.
TipCome before 14:30 or the day's sausages are gone; the ECB tower crowd knows the drill and arrives at noon sharp.
