Teewurst, a German delicacy, has a unique origin story that dates back to the 19th century. It got its name, which translates to "tea sausage," not because it contains any tea, but because it was enjoyed during afternoon tea time. It was in the city of Rügenwalde, now a part of modern-day Poland but then a part of Germany, that the delightful recipe of Teewurst was perfected. The sausage quickly became a favorite among the locals, especially served on rye bread, and soon its fame spread far beyond the city. The making and selling of Rügenwalder Teewurst was regulated and protected by the German government until the end of World War II. Today, it remains a beloved spreadable sausage in Germany and wherever German culinary traditions have taken root.
