Different.

I bought bratwursts.  I didn't look at every single tiny detail.  What I was looking for was anything that should be in food, while striking unimportant things.  Organic garlic?  Doesn't matter, especially if it is from China.  That is no more organic, by American food standards, than I am a dwarf.  Besides, even in America, both the label and it's value even if technically legit, are of dubious concerns.

So, garlic powder, onion powder, and so on.  No soy, no sugar (of any sort), no artificial flavors, no "natural" flavorings, no colors, no... you... get the point.  And, these were all good, in that.  What I didn't notice is that the meat was not pork, but chicken.

Would I have still bought it?  Yes, at least to try.  Into the oven, in a larger skillet that can handle that, with sauerkraut.  Hotter, and for longer, than was advised.  And, by the taste, I'd say my inklings for longer and hotter were correct.  Even then it was probably... just done.  Not overdone, not even well done.  I prefer chicken, and pork for that matter, to be very done.

Will find out if that works out well in a while.  If the chicken is questionable, I'll... know it.  Chicken of dubious nature causes me to go the the bathroom, just shoots through.  Same with pork.  Which is why I much prefer it to be exceedingly done.  Either way, next time I will fry the brats first, then put them in the oven for about the time I did this time.  Crisped on the outside first, then into the oven.

Taste?  Well, chicken just doesn't have a lot of flavor.  It wasn't bad.  It didn't have that tainted flavor, scent, feel.  Clean, but... a bit bland.  Sauerkraut adds a bit of flavor, and texture.  Not unhappy.  So far.

Not feeling the best.  Not sure why.  Wasn't feeling all that good before eating, so that isn't on the food.  And, if I continue to not feel great, I won't necessarily blame to the food.  Only if I have to run to the bathroom, several times, over the next few hours/days, that I would blame on the food.  Though I'm not seeing that happening.  I'd already have a sense, I think.

I might have a bit more in a while.  Hmm, though I want it heated.  And more done.  So I may turn it back on and up, if with a timer or two.  Ugh.

The same was true with the breakfast sausages I bought at costco.  Made of chicken.  Very strange.  Can get chicken brats and sausages, that are clean by ingredient list, but not pork?  Perhaps pork is impossible to keep clean enough, though chicken isn't easy to process cleanly, and really fast enough, to keep it healthy either.  So... just not sure what that is about.

No, I wouldn't add this as a regular part to my diet.  Just something different, from time to time.  Far too bland.  And, again, potentially sketchy.  If so far so good.  Later.
