[net.cooks] How do you prepare Kalberwurst?

jgpo@iwu1c.UUCP (07/06/83)

When I was visiting New Glarus, Wisconsin, I had a veal sausage called
Kalberwurst.  It appeared to have been fried (in 6-in. lengths) and served
with a gravy whose flavor I couldn't place (beer??).  I bought some,
alas without asking how to cook it, and took it home to the flatlands
of Illinois.  When I went to cook it, I decided that it was too mushy to
cut into lengths, so I steamed it to firm it up.  I then cut it into
lengths and browned them in margarine.  Then I made a packet of instant
brown gravy, to which I added a little beer.  The sausages weren't bad,
but the ones I had in New Glarus were a lot better.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I looked in a couple of Swiss
cookbooks, to no avail.
