Bratwurst

Bratwurst

Bratwurst (nicknamed "Brats") is a German-style sausage made from pork, veal and/or beef (although you can also get turkey brats now). This spicy sausage is great on the grill but can also be broiled, simmered in beer or water, or fried. It is often served on a bun but can also be sliced at eaten plain. Some substitutes for bratwurst are Italian sausage, Polish sausage, knockwurst or kielbasa.
