RedHeadedTaurus: A bratwurst (pronounced: is a sausage composed of pork, beef, and/or veal. The name is German, derived from Old High German brätwurst, from brät- which is fine chopped meat and -wurst, sausage. Though the brat in bratwurst describes the way the sausages are made, it is often misconstrued to be derived from the German verb "braten", which means to pan fry or roast. Etymology aside, frying and roasting are far from the most common methods of preparation. Bratwurst is usually grilled and sometimes cooked in broth or beer.
...And very yummy, I think. I like to boil them for a bit, then toss them on the grill till they are all crusty & browned all over.
Oo they sound nice!
