Derby Sausages!

[Michael Alexander]

Micky's wife Anita, still comes up here just about once a year for a few weeks to stay with my in laws. Nice lady, and not only because she gave me Jagermeister at Xmas.... :D

[Ricky Barron (RIP)]

 Yes Clive, I too recall Mickey Reschke sweating over the Bratwurst (with a sprinkling of parsley) sausages! He spoiled me for life as since those days I have never come across any that come close to the taste or "crunch" of his sausages. Aah the memories........now I'm really hungry!

those coconuts were my nemises, i would go at them everytime. one time i got seven ....i dont even like coconut

[Delia]

when i think derby sausages, i think edgar selby.  i can see him standing behind the stall, apron on, tongs in one hand, beer in the other, turning those sausages.  OMG - they were THE BEST - to this day have never found anything that comes near them (and believe me, i've tried)!

[Clive Symes]

Sometime there has to be a reunion of Ex-Oranjemunders in Cape Town & I dont just mean ( Pensioners) I mean who ever wants to come.
Derby sausages must be served, who knows the recepie ?

[Michael Alexander]

Clive,are you on about the white bratwurst sausage or those pink things, I reckon that red dye is more than likely a banned substance by now.......

:D

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

Hey Clive you must be close to pension...... hee hee :) Great idea.What would be the cut off age so I know whether I invited.

[Delia]

mike, the derby sausages were the white bratwurst ones - as you bit into them, the juice splattered everywhere.  aaah, what i wouldn't do for one now........those "pink things" were sold in the butchery in a flat black container type base, cling wrapped.  i loved them - my mom used to cut them up and fry them for us.

Bratwurst .. yes  I  have  bought  some  deli  made  ones  but  roasted  them   in  the  oven  and  served  with mash  and  sauerkraut ..  If  you  missing  them  really  badly .. I  went  to the  Biscuit  Mill   in  salt  river  on  a saturday  morning .. they  have  a   market  day  .. food stalls ,  wines  , cheeses  .. fresh breads   you  name it  ...communal  eating   on  long  tables  ..  a  festive atmosphere   .. there was  a guy  selling  Bratwurst  done  over  the  coals   .. served in a  roll  with  the  sauerkraut  if wanted  and  german  mustard .. yummy .. very  close  to  the  childhood  taste ..
Oooorrrr !!
HEY!  maybe  its just that our  tastebuds  are  jaded with  time ??   I  remember the one  long  weekend   we  had  " borrowed " Peter  Watsons   Aunts  car  ( and  Anglia )   and  were at  the  tender  age  of  17  sans  licence  driving  Cape Town   flat  in various  states  of  inebriation   and  other  substances ...   We had  a  meal  one night  of  Bought  roast  chicken ..  tomatoes raw onion  and  cheese  slices   one  assembled   bits of  each in the mouth  and  then  chewed  .. mixing all  the  flavours .. I  still have good  memories  of  the  taste  but  cannot  replicate  it .. I  suppose  a  sort of Kodak  moment  for the taste  buds ??   never to  be  repeated .

Omunders living in Cape Town and surrounding areas, try Rath the German Deli in the Garden Centre in the Gardens - good German food.

thanks richard, will definitely make a turn there.  i know dennis proctor has also been scouting cape town for many years now trying to find the real mcoy derby sausages.  with uncle frans being austrian, he has a love for any food of germanic origin. will let him know too.

[Michael Alexander]

The Rath butcher in the Garden Centre is part of the Hartliefs group, in fact if I'm not mistaken the Rath family own Hartliefs, Great Landjagers!........For a function held in the Powerstation, (The new functions hall) , I ordered about 60kg of bratwurst to braai... fresh brotchen, butter not marge and real mustard, not that sweet artificial stuff. now thats how you make 'em. ps, it helps if there is an ice cold draught machine nearby!

Slurp!

;)

[Clive Symes]

Looks Like I'm too late to give the feed back to Mike, but yes, BRATWURST, definitly not the pink or red Viennas.

Delia, Dianna, just thinking of the way you described them make me lus for one now.

Delia, the Frans you mention is that Frans & Marie Redel??

Sandy, I had some smoked Pork neck, mash and Sauerkrautt a while back but your right, the Bratwurst ( I think I am going to  follow Richards advise & go into the Garden Centre next time I visit my Mom)

Mike, your EVIL! I could kill for one of those Rolls now ( any chance of a delivery)

[Richard Opperman]

Sorry folks - not "Rath" but "Raith" in Garden Centre Cape Town - went there this morning a bought some Bratwurst (white sausage like old Omund Derby sausages), Bockwurts (like big brown vienna sausage), nice German rolls, sauerkraut and genuine German mustard.

Having Stephen and Diana Rudd (Boehme) around for a German come Mule Derby braai and watching England being thrashed by the USA - just sturing! 

Yes Mike Raith is connected to Hartlief some where down the line - Zurbans coffee shop (Garden Centre no longer operational) in the 80s and 90s was also connected - they had brilliant breakfasts - Debby and I used to go there one Saturday morning a month in the 80s for breakfast.

Keep well.

Richard,
Best I could come up with today, was a Ham Roll and some French mustard - I've made it my mission get some proper Wurst for next weekend.
