On Thursday, I found myself in the city and hungry. I have been meaning to try the German Sausage Hut for some time so I seized the opportunity. I must point out that when it comes to sausages, I'm not fussy. I'll happily eat a Coles sausage on plain white bread or even a Night Owl hot dog. However, I cannot recall ever sampling an authentic German sausage, which I believe have a good reputation. Anyway, I ordered a frankfurter on a roll with bacon and cheese. I hesitate to use the term "hot dog" which conjures up images of a sausage-like product, the meat of which being of dubious origin. What I got was far from this. The sausage was of very good quality. It wasn't the best sausage I've ever had, but it probably was the best frankfurter. The bacon was also good quality: two nice, thick slices. The cheese on the other hand was more or less standard, but I wasn't expecting anything more. I was expecting slightly more flavour from the frankfurter, but I'm not complaining because I knew at the time that frankfurters are one of the milder German sausages. In terms of taste, there was nothing wrong with this dish. The only problem lied in the fact that this was physically speaking, a difficult meal to eat. There was simply more food than the bun could accommodate. The guy who prepared my sausage did his best by putting the bacon and cheese on the roll before the sausage. I really appreciated this because in my experience, putting the bacon on cheese on top of the sausage is likely to result in the bacon and cheese sliding off during the eating process. The frankfurter was so long that I constantly had to adjust its position in the bun and this caused sauce to drip everywhere. It was also difficult to bite into the roll due to the amount of food. At any one time I could either bite the frankfurter or the roll with bacon and cheese, but not both because it simply would not fit into my mouth. At one point I bit into the frankfurter and it expelled grease out the other end. I'm not really concerned about the grease content because it tasted great, but I didn't like it getting my fingers all sticky. Suffice it to say that this was a very messy dish, and I had to use a significant number of serviettes. The quality of this dish was such that I found myself craving it again the next day. In fact I feel like another one right now. In conclusion my first experience with authentic German sausage was a positive, albeit messy one.

German Sausage Hut, Brisbane City
