A type of German sausage made from pork, beef, or veal, seasoned with various spices and typically grilled or pan-fried. The name literally means 'frying sausage' and it's one of the most popular German sausage varieties.
From German 'Bratwurst,' combining 'braten' (to fry or roast) and 'Wurst' (sausage). The sausage has been documented since 1313 in Nuremberg, making it one of the oldest known sausage varieties, with different German regions developing their own distinct variations.
