Hi whiteyron
Found this in Antony & Amaminta Hippisley Coxe's "Book of Sausages" ISBN 0-575-04004-1
Grutzewurst (Germany)
The French version of this is saucisson au gruau; and gruau mean 'groats'. The German word must surely be the origin of the American word 'grits'. The meat ingredient of this sausage is chitterling, cut into strips about 10 cm (4in) long, mixed with groats or wheat meal which has been cooked in an aromatic broth. It is seasoned with salt, pepper and grated lemon peel. The sausages are steeped in boiling water for 3 minutes, dried, and lightly fried in butter before serving.
Hope this helps
Regards
Sausagemaker
