 The Nuremberg bratwurst is required to be at most long and to weigh at most ; it is flavoured with mace, pepper, and marjoram.In Early Modern times starting in 1614, Nuremberg's butchers paraded through the city each year carrying a long sausage.The pig, and pork products such as mortadella, were economically important in Italian cities such as Bologna and Modena in the Early Modern period, and celebrated as such; they have remained so into modern times.
