Weisswurst

As it is very perishable, "Weisswürste" traditionally were manufactured early in the morning and prepared and eaten as a snack between breakfast and lunch—there is a saying that the sausages should not be allowed to hear the noon chime of the church bells. Traditionally, "Weisswürste" may only be served until midday because preservatives are not used, the meat is not smoked, and hence the sausage is made fresh every day; indeed, they sometimes are called morning sausages. Before modern refrigeration technologies, in summertime the sausages would go bad before nightfall. Even today, most Bavarians eat "Weisswürste" before noon.
