Where to eat Fleischwurst am Stand in Frankfurt: 1 editor pick

A thick ring of mild, garlicky boiled sausage eaten hot at a market counter with mustard and a roll. In Frankfurt this is a ritual with a queue, not a snack.

Fleischwurst is the Rhineland-Hessen family of fine boiled sausage, sold warm at butcher counters across the region. Frankfurt gave it a temple: the Kleinmarkthalle, where Metzgerei Schreiber's stand serves hot Fleischwurst, Krakauer and Gelbwurst over the glass, with a queue that bends around the aisle every Saturday. The etiquette is fixed, cash ready, mustard yes or no, eat it standing at the rail, and the whole exchange takes less time than reading this history.
