Aside from beer, another essential component of
Oktoberfest celebration is wurst. There are several kinds of sausages in the
whole world, Germany has the wurst - no pun intended. There are over a thousand varieties of wurst in Germany but there is one commonality among them, German sausages must only be made with
meat and spices.
If it contains any other ingredient, it's not wurst. Perhaps the most common variety of German wurst is the Frankfurter, made from grounded lean pork and cold-smoked. A German wurst can only be called a Frankfurter if it is made in Frankfurt.
