📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The cervelat is so beloved that the Swiss call it their 'national sausage.' Made with beef, pork, and bacon, it has a smooth texture. Cut crosswise at both ends, the ends open like petals as it grills, and it's a must at summer barbecues.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a lakeside summer barbecue, cervelats sizzle over the coals with their ends opening like flowers.
