Bratwurst Day

August 16th is Bratwurst Day in the United States.

The bratwurst, whose name is sometimes shortened to brat, is a type of sausage. The name of this sausage comes from an Old High German word, Brätwurst, and this is a type of German sausage. It combined the words for finely chopped meat, brät, with that for sausage, wurst. Bratwursts are first known of in Nuremberg, in modern day Germany, back in 1313.

Bratwursts can be made from a variety of different meats, such as veal, beef or pork, and there are many different recipes for them. The bratwurst in Germany would be served with German mustard in a white roll, and would normally be accompanied with sauerkraut potato salad. In other countries it is commonly served in a white roll, in the manner that a hot dog would be.
