You just posted a link where the lady says bratwurst, not brotwurst. So unless you say hat when you mean hot, I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

Bratvoorst




EDIT - There are plenty of sites which have an audio-file pronunciation of bratwurst if there's any confusion. You can even Google an actual German saying it. Brat part rhymes with rat - its just a short a though, not a long drawn out cowboy drawl aaa. Just google bratwurst pronunciation.

That’s not how we say it round these here parts, lol. Here it’s pronounced brot rhymes with hot.

I guess there is German pronunciation, British English pronunciation and American English pronunciation. As long as you get the wurst that's the main thing. Guten apetit!

I hear short o not short a. This could be another example of pin/pen.

Make sure the brats are not precooked, then cook them properly: heated in very hot/simmering liquid before going on the grill or pan.

A precooked brat is not a brat. It is a dense, shriveled, tasteless little meat plug.

And how can someone eat a raw brat and not know something is wrong?

And does macaroni salad go with this stuff?

Grilled sausages are something I serve with any sides I'd serve with grilled meats.

Bratwurst pairs well with sauerkraut, a variety of relishes and condiments, various mustards.

I like potato salads, slaws, pasta salads, etc. Just picnic type foods.
