Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut

Swakopmund's Brauhaus still brews its beer on-site in copper kettles in the traditional German style, pouring it fresh alongside bratwurst just as German settlers did over a century ago.
A coarse pork-and-veal sausage seasoned with coriander, nutmeg and caraway is grilled until the casing snaps, then plated with tangy sauerkraut and stone-ground mustard.
Why it's made this way: Namibia was German South West Africa from 1884 to 1915, and coastal Swakopmund kept its half-timbered architecture and kitchen habits — locals joke the town feels more German than parts of modern Germany.
