Heat your Weisswurst sausages in warm water (but not boiling) until the internal temperature is at least 160℉ (71℃).
If serving family-style, place the pot of water with the warmed sausages at the center of the table with a serving fork, so they continue to stay warm.
If serving individually, preheat small serving bowls in the oven at 150℉ (65℃) until ready to use. When ready to eat, place 2 links and hot water into each small bowl.
Serve with pretzels (usually 1 per person), Bavarian sweet mustard & a cold glass of Weissbier (Hefeweizen) between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon (that's Bavarian tradition).
To eat your Weisswurst, you remove the casings first.
Make a cut alongside the whole sausage, then pull off the casings off using a knife (but your hands will be fine too).
Cut off a piece of Weisswurst, dip it in the sweet mustard, then eat it. Do not cut up the whole sausage first before eating. Prost!
