brat if it's a real brat, not some johnsonville shit
easy

burger
bratwurst
hot dog

What is it with america and calling all sausages brats, even if they're not grilled

>>4625932
Brat.
Hotdog.
Hamburger.

>>4625970

Our two most popular sausages asides from hotdogs are breakfast sausage (uncased usually) and brats. So if it's got a case and not a hotdog, it's a brat or polish sausage.

A good lincolnshire sausage, of course.

>>4625932
A real bratwurst.

Do I have to choose? I love them all in different situations.

I guess if I have to pick one, I love burgers the most.

Brats are awesome, Burgers are good if they are cheese burgers, hot dogs have no place when either of the other two are options

>>4625957
Johnsonville brats are on the low end of brats, but still a hell of a lot better than even the top hot dog brands

>>4625970
>What is it with america and calling all sausages brats
um, we don't

Brat = Hot Dog, depending on the brands. Probably I'll have one of each anyways.

Hamburger comes in dead last, usually.

Feels good to live in a city where the people have good enough taste that the local MLB stadium sells more brats than hot dogs

more like shitwaukee

MFW murrican fixation on bratwurst, completely oblivious to the god-tier porcine products of France and England.

>>4628356
> murrican fixation on bratwurst,
probably has something to do with this

>>4628360
> 0.5% german
are you sure that's why?

>>4628356
>Implying anything god-tier has come from England except America

Nürnberger Rostbratwürste.

>>4628366
pretty sure it means 50%, not .05%

>>4628368
>Being this unaware

>>4628372
er, no
It means 0.5%

>>4628403
no, it definitely means 50% german ancestry

Do you seriously think germans, the largest group of people to immigrate to america, maximum percent ancestry is .64% rather than 64%

>>4628403
Wrong.

That's .53, as in 53/100, as in 53%.

>>4628439
It says "percent". Whatever the author of that image meant, 0.53% is what is written.

>>4628360
Retrospectively, you have used a terrible fucking infographic.

>Says percent
>Written in decimal.

OUCH

>>4628420
>>4628439
can neither of you read?

>>4625932

Bratwurst all the way. Because I can get a burger or hot dog anywhere but bratwursts are damned hard to find in restaurants.

If this is the Bratwurst in question, Bratwurst.

Otherwise, Burger > Bratwurst = Hot Dog

It all depends...but overall
>Burger

>>4630114
Maybe these.

>>4628461
Are you retarded? The graphic is wrong. It's written in decimal. 1 = 100% incidence, 0.1 = 10% incidence, 0.01 = 1% incidence. Educate yourself, you fucking mouthbreather.

so... this is a thing where I live.

IMHO bratwurst, kielbasa, spanish chorizo, etc. etc. are on the whole superior to hot dogs. Hot dogs are superior to burgers. Burgers can be awesome, but I think that sometimes they're just way too bland, even with extravagant topping. Hit a hot dog with some hot mustard, kraut, onions, whatever you feel like, and it'll be good. One thing I personally like to do other than kraut-mustard-onion is to pop it with some banana ketchup, cucumber, hot mustard, and mango habanero salsa. On a burger? It just wouldn't be right b.

>>4630114
that almost looks like a coburger, the worst kind of bratwurst there is.
but it's probably a thüringer, which i enjoy very much. also nürnberger, perferably with some sauerkraut and good bread.

>>4625946
>Brat
Yes
>boil in beer
NO!!!
>grill on the grill
Yes

>>4625946
>boil in beer

more like boild in white whine

>>4631285
>not liking beer brats

>>4631337
is it strange that i'm german and i have never heard of beer brats? is it an american thing? sounds awesome!

>>4631109
Where do you live where there are different kinds of bratwurst?

Burger. Medium. With cheese. Thin slice of tomato, lettuce and onion. Spicy mustard with a drop of ketchup. Bonus: Chips under the patty for extra crunch. (Not a very graceful or elegant thing to eat in public, but damn tasty.)

this

>>4631347
>is it an american thing
Yes, the state of Wisconsin was mostly settled by germans and quickly began to lead american in both brewing and sausage making
Some genius decided to combine them and it is now common practice to simmer brats in beer and onions and or kraut before grilling, and from there it has spread to most of the rest of america to a lesser extent

>>4625932
>not having bratwurst burgers

>>4631347
I can buy "beer brats" at the store, and also enjoy boiling them in a beer bath (usually beer, onions, garlic, spices). Some people (like me) like to grill first for a sear, then boil, then either serve or dry a little on the grill then serve. Others like to boil in the beer to start out, then sear on the grill and serve.

Oh, and the onions in the beer bath are delicious as hell to put on your brat if you use a slotted spoon.

>>4631409
>and the onions in the beer bath are delicious as hell to put on your brat if you use a slotted spoon.
yes, definitely do this

>>4631407
those look kinda eww...

I like brat burgers, but you have to get good brats, split the casing, then squish them. I just had some delicious ones that my friend's family cooked on the fourth wish mushrooms and cheese mixed in.

>>4631409
Your doing it backwards.

first sautee onions and peppers in pan. Then add them to an aluminum 9x9 pan. place them on direct heat over charcoal.

ADD BEER!!!!!!!!!!

once everything is simmering, move to indirect heat as far away from coals as possible. Add Brats/sausages/dogs.

Let cook for 20+ minutes with lid on.

When someone wants one, grill brat over direct heat for 1 minute a side to sear. Any other brats can stay in beer bath damn near indefinitely without over cooking or getting that shriveled up look to them.

burger

>>4631419
also it seems i should have read your entire comment before posting this...neat.

>>4631419
when we have large gatherings I will simmer with the beer/onion solution, grill to perfection, then place them back in a 5 gallon pot of heated beer/onion solution indefinitely

also serve with this, and on a proper brat bun, not one of those shitty little hot dog buns

>>4631367
germany obviously. you know how that is, every reigion has its own specialtys. some are good others ain't.

>>4631402
>>4631409
well i will definitely try that! i'm from bavaria and i never heard of bratwurst boiled in beer before, i'm baffled.
with the onions it kinda sounds like the before mentioned "saure zipfel" in
>>4631334
where you boil them in white wine with onion and spices. thanks for the tip ameribos. i will try the beer version, maybe you should try the wine version.

>>4631430
>>4631430
second.to.none.

>>4631444
mah nigga

that shit is the bombdiggity shiggity hee haw, yo

>>4631419
Well I just sautee them in the aluminum pan with butter while doing my brats low and slow (which times out nicely), but yes doing this before hand is a good step.

>>4631430

fyi in germany the bratwurst is served in a kümmelbrötchen or as you might call them kummelweck. nothing suits a bratwurst like caraway.

>>4631449
I'm from amish country PA so I dig the german food.

>>4631430

Did someone say horseradish mustard?

none

Braut unless burger comes with unlimited customization.

Beat! Is that even a question? :D

>>4628366
>>4628403
>>4628461

It's common decimal notation. If you see 0.64 without a % trailing it, it means 64%.

>>4631444

God tier

>>4631496

Decent

>>4631430

The fuck is that?

>>4625946
THIS

Currywurst. Feels blue collar. Feels low-brow. Feels right.

>>4630870
> the graphic is wrong
> educate yourself [in the art of reading incorrect data]
ok.

>>4632922
I love currywurst so much. I actually grew up it eating it (in Texas). Simple/low brow, yes. Delightful, absolutely.

>>4632926
Sizeable German minority where you live ? Because it's pretty unusual outside of the Germanosphere. Not even the Swedes have it.

>>4632928
Yep. Central Texas is full of German-heritage communities.

>>4632928
Not the previous anon but yes. Texas, particularly central Texas, has a lot of German culture. During the late 19th c. there was a significant wave of German immigrants to the area and it's well known for beer and sausages. There is even evidence that a significant German influence was important in the development of modern Texas bbq.

>>4632928
sweden's not even a neighbouring country. Every country that does actually neighbour germany has it

>>4632934
see
>>4628360

part of central texas is the only part of the south with good genes, the rest is mostly comes from inbred british people and africans

>>4632934
Strange though they imported the Curry Sausage, it's a post-WW2 thing. The original was made with American Ketchup and British Curry bought on the black market in Berlin.

>>4632938
Yes, but Sweden has a tendency to import our stuff. Classic Swedish cuisine is 75% German and 25% Norse.

>>4631544
>The fuck is that?
delicious horseradish mustard

>>4632946
I beg to differ. Nowadays we only eat shitty pizza and tacos.

>>4632954
And Kebab Mayo Pizza. I only saw this once in Germany, it was inside of a turkish kebab shop in a factory in Nurnberg.

>>4632959
That's not mayo you dolt, it's the sauce they put in kebab.

>>4632961
Sounds increasingly edible. Is the meat real kebab meat or is it the finely ground stuff they put on Lahmacun ?

>>4632940
There's still been German immigrants coming even after that time, though. Currywurst got introduced to the community I grew up in during the 1970s when some Germans came and opened a restaurant. They had come there on a vacation, and decided to move there because they loved it so much and it reminded them of home. Anyway, my relatives were some of the first Germans in Texas, off the boat in 1846. I grew up eating old school German food, and was introduced to more modern German food through restaurants in town.
(I love currywurst. :)

>>4632963
They stack up layers of meat like this, then do something with it, I think wrap it up in like a tight-sitting film which makes the sides so even compared to the pic

As for the sauce, I'm not quite sure what it is, but it's some kind of yoghurt mixed with spicery, and it usually tastes sweet
