When I first saw these I though they looked strange and was worried they woudn't taste like a regular brat. We bought some for a party we had, everyone thought they were hamburgers at first and when I told them they were brat patties they were intrigued because no one had ever heard of them. They are so good! I would rather eat these than a regualr brat. We didn't have any left.
Growing up with my mom, who had grown up in Germany, was very different than most of my friends families. She use to go to a German Deli where we use to live, and come home with some very "interesting" and "different" food for us to try. Now that I am the mom, I have followed in as many traditions as possible. Johnsonville has helped me to do just that! My whole family loves the Johnsville Brats! Either the patties or the sausages. I cook them many different ways, that I had learned from my mother. I would have to say that their most favorite way is to grill them, plop them on a bun with some mustard and then they go to town!! They don't want a side dish... they want to be able to eat as many of the brats as they can!
