Did you know?
- In Vienna, the very city that gives the word Wiener its name, this same sausage is actually called a Frankfurter.
- The word 'Wurst' is one of the most culturally significant words in Germany, appearing in many idioms that have nothing to do with eating, such as 'Das ist mir wurst', meaning 'I do not care'.
- In German, the diminutive suffix '-chen' used in Würstchen is so powerful that it completely changes the grammatical gender of the word from feminine to neuter.
