Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut

German is still spoken on Swakopmund's streets and printed in its newspapers, and the town's butchers and delis keep making sausages to recipes brought over in colonial times.
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.
