Brey Bratwurst is a bratwurst that originates from Mikitivity's Brey canton and is extremely popular throughout the nation and considered a Mikitivity cultural icon. Like most bratwursts, the sausage is made of a blend of pork, beef, a number of spices, and a small amount of veal. The spices include nutmeg, spice melange, black pepper, basil, celery, ginger, and tnani.
The vast majority of Brey Bratwursts consumed and exported from Mikitivity are hand-crafted. The raw sausage is soaked in a local beer before being pan fried or grilled. Usually the type of beer used to marinade the bratwurst depends upon the time of year, with older beers being used in favor of freshly brewed beers.
History
Lying just to the north of the temperate Solace canton, the people of Brey canton were at a strategic point along the eastern fork of the Spice Trail, and thus had access to many of the spices coming out of the Solace mountains and those coming, such as tnani, from Baranxtu to Mikitivity. However, the Brey canton was subjected to colder conditions and could not rely upon food throughout the long winters, thus it was tradition to make sausages out of a blend of meats to last through the winter. Though today the majority of the meat comes from pork, originally the indigenous Bergeber were hunted and used to make the sausage. The trimmings left behind when preparing other parts of the boar or pig were mixed with left over bits from beef and turned into a sausage that would be frozen and stored for months.
