Method

Wash the radish

Rinse the Radi well under cold water to remove any grit, then trim off the top and root end. Pat it dry so it is easier and safer to handle for slicing.

Slice it thin

Peel the radish, then slice it as thinly as you can into rounds or half-moons. Aim for very fine slices so it stays crisp but pleasant to eat, the way it is traditionally served.

Salt the Radi

Put the sliced radish in a bowl, sprinkle over the Salt, and toss well so the slices are evenly coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to soften slightly and draw out some moisture; while it rests, you can get the water ready for the sausages.

Heat the water

Pour the Water into a pot and heat it until it is steaming and just below a simmer. Keep the heat gentle so you see only a few small bubbles from time to time; do not let the water boil, or the sausage skins can split.

Poach the sausages

Lower the Weißwürste into the hot water and warm them gently for 10 minutes. Keep the temperature steady and calm rather than bubbling hard; they should come out plump, hot, and intact.

Serve the breakfast

Arrange the Laugenbrezeln on plates or in a bread basket. Spoon the Bavarian Sweet Mustard into a small bowl, and if the Radi has released a lot of liquid, lightly squeeze or drain it before setting it alongside. Put out the chilled Weißbier, then lift the sausages from the hot water and serve right away, about 2 sausages and 1 pretzel per person with plenty of mustard.
