In detail

Bratwurst is a grilled German sausage of minced pork, usually served in a roll with mustard. Braten means "to fry", and the sausage is a fixture of German markets, football grounds and Christmas stalls.

What it actually is

Minced pork (sometimes veal) is seasoned — marjoram, caraway, nutmeg and pepper are common — and filled into a natural casing, then grilled over charcoal or pan-fried until browned and juicy. Regional styles vary widely: the Nürnberger is finger-sized and grilled in threes; the Thüringer is long and coarse.

How it's served

  • In a roll (Brötchen) with mustard — handheld and classic.
  • On a plate with sauerkraut and potato salad or bread.
  • Sliced into currywurst with curry-ketchup.

Writing it on a menu

  • Name the regional style (Nürnberger, Thüringer…) — it sets the size and seasoning.
  • Offer a choice of mustard (sweet Bavarian or sharp) — it matters to guests.
  • Note it is pork; a veal or veggie version should be flagged.
