Bratwurst vs Wurst

sausage

'Wurst' and 'Bratwurst' both belong to the area of food. 'Wurst' is the general term for many different kinds of sausage. 'Bratwurst' is a specific sausage that is fried or grilled. So you can say: a 'Bratwurst' is a 'Wurst', but not every 'Wurst' is a 'Bratwurst'. The words can be confused if you are only thinking of grilled food. If the specific kind matters, use 'Bratwurst'. If the exact kind does not matter, 'Wurst' is enough.
