Bratwurst

Grilled German link

Bratwurst is a German sausage, typically made from pork or a pork-veal mixture, seasoned and grilled or pan-fried.

Popular at cookouts and beer halls, it's often served in a bun with mustard and sauerkraut: We grilled brats for the tailgate party.

The plural is bratwursts or the German bratwürste, though brats works informally.
