Well I can hardly write a blog called "Bestandwurstofgerman" without mentioning WURST can I? Germany has a spectacular variety of mouth-watering "sausages" as everyone knows. These range from the FRANKFURTER from, obviously, Frankfurt and the NÜRNBERGER from, obviously Nürnberg in Bavaria. (Also avialable in all good branches of LIDL.) I'm reminded once when former German national football manager Rudi Völler's team performed really badly, Bild newspaper ran a vitriolic piece dubbing the team RUDIS WURSTTRUPPE or Rudi's sausage troops. Bit of an insult really. Also who can forget Austria's 2014 Eurovision winner Concita Wurst?
