The Story Behind Thüringer
The Thüringer sausage arrived in Luxembourg through German cultural influence but was adapted to local tastes by using beef. It became ubiquitous at outdoor events, sports matches, and street stalls throughout the Grand Duchy. This humble sausage-in-a-roll represents Luxembourg's practical approach to food: take the best from neighboring traditions and make it your own.
