Sausages are a staple of German street food, and yet most places serve sausages in a round “semmel” bun. But the sausages are long (duh) so they just beg for a longer bun. Why do you think hot-dog-style buns aren’t more popular?

    If the buns were longer, you couldn’t eat the delicious pure sausage first. Best technique is to extract the sausage bit by bit by drawing it with your teeth out of the bun. As dessert you’ll get a sausage-and-mustard flavoured bun.

    That’s not possible with hot dogs, as neither the sausage nor the bun taste on their own. I’d even doubt they taste at all…

        It’s just one of my favourite ways of eating it.

        The only real requirement for correct Bratwurst im Brötchen eating is to fight everyone tooth and nail who dares to doubt that your local Bratwurst variety is objectively the best of all.

          As a non-German eating a local Bratwurst im Brötchen, I think it would be wise to acknowledge that the local one is great =) Actually, I haven’t travelled all that much to distinguish between different varieties. I’d be curious to try them out. Are there the varieties that are a must-try? Someone mentioned the Nuremberg ones.
