baroque-quest:

I do not like currywurst. I prefer regular bratwurst with senf,
especially Thüringer Rostbratwurst. I noticed that in Berlin the
usual custom seems to be to cut-up bratwurst in bite-sized pieces and
add a toothpick as a utensil. Would someone please tell me the German
for "cut-up" versus "whole" so I can ask the vendor to just give me a
whole (uncut) bratwurst?

Ungeschnitten (not cut)
An einem Stück (as a whole)

Is cut-up bratwurst a custom in other cities or only in Berlin?

Neither here, in the western part of Lower Saxony, nor anywhere else in
Germany, have I ever seen Bratwurst being cut into pieces. That's
common for Currywurst everywhere, but not for Bratwurst. Usually, when
taken in the streets, it's served on a small carton tray, of which a
strip can be torn off.


Nürnberg has yummy pinkie-sized bratwurst. What kind of bratwurst is
typical in Hamburg?

The regular white Bratwurst. Traditional Hamburger Weisswurst has
vanished.

In Stuttgart?

Yikes. Every Bratwurst and Currywurst I ever ate in Stuttgart (and
Tübingen) has been a heated rubber stick, that appeared no good for
anything. At all. Not even for consumption.
