You have to be able to eloquate and tell the difference between the world-famous frankfurter, knackwurst (pork or beef with fresh garlic), bockwurst (pork, turkey, chicken, lamb with paprika, parsley, white pepper, and chives), and bratwurst (pork, veal, and/or beef.
The frankfurter is the most common sausage, but you will also appreciate the bratwurst (pork, beef, and/or veal), knackwurst (pork or beef with fresh garlic), and bockwurst (pork, lamb, turkey, chicken with salt, paprika, white pepper, chives, and parsley), among other sausages.
That very phrase "sausage importer" rang like the toot of an alpenhorn in my imagination, and, yes, there they were, bratwurst and wiener würstel, debreciner and knackwurst, alongside Mozart balls and packets of Austrian coffee.
