Currywurst vs Bratwurst

bratwurst

'Bratwurst' and 'Currywurst' can easily be confused because a currywurst often uses a fried sausage. 'Bratwurst' mainly refers to the sausage itself, which is fried or grilled. It can come in a roll, on a plate, or from the grill. 'Currywurst' refers to a prepared snack-stand dish: the sausage is usually sliced and served with curry sauce and curry powder. In short: the bratwurst is the sausage; the currywurst is the dish with sauce.
