Unlike its grilled cousins, it's meant to be gently poached, never charred — locals will tell you grilling one is basically a cooking mistake.

A coarse, mildly spiced pork sausage in natural casing is simmered rather than grilled, giving it a plumper, juicier bite than a typical grilled wurst. Zurich market halls and street stalls serve it sliced with bread and mustard, or whole with a side of onion sauce.

Why it's made this way: The poaching method, rather than grilling, is a defining regional distinction that sets it apart from the grilled sausage styles found elsewhere in German-speaking Switzerland.
