💡 What's interesting
The Thüringer Rostbratwurst has a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the EU, meaning it can only be produced in Thuringia according to a specific recipe. The potato salad is often served warm, which allows the potatoes to absorb the flavorful, tangy dressing more effectively.
