If a half-meter-long wurst is only 12 inches after the conversion from deutchmark to euro, then the Germans really got screwed when they gave up their currency.

Actually, I agree that I should have used a metric length. However, a 30-cm sausage just didn't sound the same as a foot-long.

I'll be back there next September. Can't wait for the sausage vendors at the street markets ...

I have had some English "style" sausages made locally but to made to the traditional receipe and they were fabulous. As mention previously quality ingredients make for better sausage. I am sure that often small private sausagers (what is the word for sausage maker?)

Being English the only term for sausage maker I know would be a "butcher". To be called a sausage it most contain a certain percentage of meat. "Bangers" as far as I know are not subject to this rule. Usually a sausage contains breadcrumbs and occasionally herbs and spices to and flavour.
