It can be prepared few different ways: grilled, fried, or roasted, it is usually served alongside caramelized onions, potatoes, or sauerkraut. I have to admit that it can actually be really delicious… It’s cooked\/smoked, so it is literally ready to eat even cold, like cold cuts.<\/p>\n

My mother would usually fry it on the pan and this was my favorite way to eat it. You can serve it with a spicy dipping sauce (or any other sauce you prefer), some people eat it with ketchup as well.<\/p>\n
