knockwursts

Plump smoked links

Knockwursts is the plural of knockwurst, a short, thick German sausage made from beef and pork, seasoned with garlic and other spices.

The casing is typically smoked, giving it a distinctive snap when bitten.

Knockwursts are often grilled or boiled and served with sauerkraut and mustard: We had knockwursts and beer at the Oktoberfest celebration.

Also spelled knackwursts.
