A sausage so beloved Germans built a museum just to brag about it.

means A seasoned German sausage, typically made of pork or veal, designed for frying or grilling.

from From German, combining 'Brat' and 'Wurst' (sausage). The popular guess is that 'Brat' means 'to roast' (from 'braten'), but it more likely traces to Old High German 'brāt,' meaning finely chopped meat — so a bratwurst is, at heart, a 'minced-meat sausage.' The word has been served up in German since the medieval period and arrived in English alongside German immigrants and their grills.
