THE BEST OF THE WURST

THE BEST OF THE WURST

I have been trying to figure out for some time the difference between wurst and brats. My wife has informed me that--

- The wurst are generally smaller.
- Conversely, the best brats are larger.
- She says the wurst are often not as firm
- She likes her brats very firm.
- She also says she likes the brats that have a slight bit of the covering removed from one end.
- She says that sometimes the wurst pop too early or they don’t pop at all.
- She mentioned that the best brats don’t pop for quite a while.
- She says she doesn’t like old wurst, but prefers young brats.
- She says old wurst are often wrinkled while brats a generally smooth.

I agreed that these things might be true, but there were some things to remember—

- Wurst and brats like new pots.
- Sometimes it is necessary to replace the pots since the frequent use with brats tends to make the pots get bigger.
- It has been said that the smaller the wurst, the better the taste.
- There is ample evidence that removing part of the covering from the wurst is also good, but it needs to be done while the wurst is fairly new.
- Sometimes wrinkled wurst can be rejuvenated if they are subjected to a warm, moist environment.
- The fact that wurst doesn’t pop can be a good thing.
- Some studies have shown that once you try an older wurst, you won’t ever want to go back to a younger brat.
