Pale veal-and-pork sausage from St. Gallen, grilled and served with sharp mustard on a Buerli bread roll. Zurich's standard street-side snack.
The St. Galler Bratwurst, also called the Olma Bratwurst, was protected as a regional speciality in 2008 with a PGI designation. It is a veal sausage with a smaller amount of pork, traditionally eaten on its own with no mustard in St. Gallen, but in Zurich the grill culture insists on sharp mustard and a crisp Buerli bread roll. Sternen Grill on Bellevue, opened in 1963, made it the canonical Zurich late-night sausage with its devilishly sharp Sternen Senf.
