Bockwurst is a German sausage which was first mentioned 1827 in Bavaria. Nevertheless, an "urban legend" in Berlin claims that it was invented in 1889 by restaurant owner R. Scholtz of Berlin. It is one of the most popular varieties within Germany, and can be found abroad. The sausage is traditionally made from ground veal and pork (tending more towards veal, unlike bratwurst). Bockwurst is flavored with salt, white pepper and paprika.
