Whole bratwurst versus cut-up bratwurst
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? I can look it up in a dictionary, but I want to know the vernacular used by vendors to make it easier. I speak just enough German to be dangerous. Is cut-up bratwurst a custom in other cities or only in Berlin? Nürnberg has yummy pinkie-sized bratwurst. What kind of bratwurst is typical in Hamburg? In Stuttgart? Thanks in advance. |

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. -- Erick |

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. To cut up the Wurst is only common when you have "Currywurst", then they put a rather spicy mixture of ketchup and curry over it. 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? "Cut-up" would be "klein geschnitten". "Whole" would be "ganz". Or you could simply say "Bitte die Wurst nicht klein schneiden". Is cut-up bratwurst a custom in other cities or only in Berlin? "Currywurst" is also common in the Ruhrgebiet-area (Essen, Duisburg, Dortmund) and can probably be had in any German city, if you ask for it. But it is only done when you have the wurst with curry-sauce over it. Otherwise you'll get it in one piece. Nürnberg has yummy pinkie-sized bratwurst. What kind of bratwurst is typical in Hamburg? Hamburg is not really famous for it's Wurst - as it is near the coast, the typical snack would rather be a "Fischbroetchen" (=roll with herring or some other fish in it, often pickled with onions and eaten cold). In Stuttgart? Don't really know about there, but if you go further South to Bavaria you'll have the "Weisswurst", a white sausage that is cooked and eaten with mustard. The skin is a bit tough, so most people cut it off. Traditionally you have to eat it before 12 o'clock noon. And have a beer with it ;-) Regards, Frank |

No senf for me, but I've never had anything but really great Bratwurst in Thüringen 8-) 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? I can look it up in a dictionary, but I want to know the vernacular used by vendors to make it easier. I speak just enough German to be dangerous. Bratwurst ohne alles or Bratwurst ohne alles ausser Brot. I love most of the sausage called Bratwurst and several others I find in Germany, but have never cared for Sauerkraut, which usually seems to come with it when it's on a plate, so my line is likely to be "Bratwurst ohne Sauerkraut, bitte. Ein Brötchen wäre aber schön." Is cut-up bratwurst a custom in other cities or only in Berlin? I've never encountered it, but I haven't spent a lot of time in Berlin. Nürnberg has yummy pinkie-sized bratwurst. What kind of bratwurst is typical in Hamburg? In Stuttgart? Bratwurst = roasted sausage in Germany. It can be totally different between restaurants in the same city, and it's usually better than most "Bratwurst" in the US 8-) And in April I'm going back for more 8-) -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |

It's been so long since I was on my own in that area that I can't remember Bratwurst there. On the other hand, as one who finds even a description of Currywurst nauseating, I can't see how one could tell much about the sausage part of it. ....ducking and running.... -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist http://www.mosaictelecom.com/~erilarlo |
