Are German and English sausages the same thing?

David S

The various recipes and the taste of them in the two countries are totally different

John P

There are many (dozens of?) varieties of sausage in Britain, made to regional recipes. I think the same applies in Germany.

Ludwig

no. For example, a Cumberland sausage is only associated with Cumberland in England, as there is no Cumberland in Germany. Also, a Bratwurst is normally to be found in Germany, because it is German.

Clive

A sausage is a sausage. And both countries have many varieties of them.

Roman

Definitely not

Maxi

No

Siddhartha

No, German sausage (wursts) by law must contain 100% pork or beef.

No. Superficially there are similarities but some of German sausages can be massive. Why? I don’t know, there’s never a roll big enough to put them in.
