Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 37, Number 1, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 January 1905 — German Emperor’s Sausage Maker. [ARTICLE]

German Emperor’s Sausage Maker.

Feeding the German Emperor is no light task. Despite all that is said about the kaiser’s Spartan habits, there are few monarchs who keep more elaborate tables. He has no less than four chefs—Schlledenstucker, a German; Harding, an Englishman; an Italian and a Frenchman —so that he can have his meals for the day served in the style of whatever nation he may happen to fancy. Each of these chefs has his staff of assistants, while, in addition, there is an individual who may safely be described as "sausage maker to the kaiser.” His majesty is very fond of the huge white frankfurter sausage, and has a supply of them made fresh every day in his own kitchen. When engaged in maneuvering his army on a big field day these frankfurters and bread washed down with lager beer invariably form the kaiser’s lunch. In addition to all these cooks there I is a special staff to prepare meals for the younger of the princes and princess, who are not allowed to partake of the rich dishes the elder members of the family indulge in.—Stray Stories. . •
