Wurst

You can't visit Germany without learning the word wurst. And let's get this straight: it's pronounced Vurst, not Wurst. Oddly enough, you can never find plain wurst, it's always ____wurst, such as bratwurst (grilled sausage). Anyway, at Brauhaus Sion in Köln we had our first experience with wurst. I can't remember the exact name on the menu, but it was basically meterwurst. The menu recommended one meter for four people. I can pretty much guarantee that 0,25m wurst, a healthy dose of kartoffeln, some mystery gravy, and a few kölsch will send anyone home happy.
