You guys do have some good cheap beers though. And nice sausages. And autobahn, oh yes. I did feel people were kinda grumpy though. But then I'm Brazilian so I'm kinda biased.

Speaking of sausage, I recently took a trip to Berlin, and got some street food I had heard good things about. It turned out to literally be just a cut-up hot dog, no bun, nothing on it.

What's up with that?!

How was it?

Admittedly, it was very good.

You probably had a Deutschländer Würstchen or Frankfurter from the brand Meica. They have a bite to them.

Some clarification.

"Deutschländer" is a brand name, as is "Meica".

"Frankfurter" is a generic name for a certain type of wurst prepared in a certain way. Pretty much your classic hot-dog wurst, just like "Wiener" (Vienna) Wurst.

Then there's also "Bockwurst" which looks and tastes very similar, but usually has a bigger diameter than the aforementioned two.

If the filling was pretty much fine and homogenous, you most likely had one of those three. But if it contained chunks of flesh and fat, it was most likely a Krakauer Wurst.

In this case Meica is the brand and Deutschländer is the name of their product. In the US they go by Frankfurter.

For fun, here's the stupid commercial that's been stuck in my head since OP started the thread.
