What does WURST mean in Scrabble?
noun
A sausage, especially of a type associated with German and Austrian cooking, made from ground meat, spices and other seasonings.
German-speaking countries produce an enormous variety of sausages under the general name wurst, ranging from the finely ground bratwurst to the smoky, spreadable liverwurst, each type carrying its own regional recipe and tradition. English borrowed the word directly from German, and it usually appears in English either standing alone or as the second half of a compound such as bratwurst or knockwurst, naming a specific style of sausage. Delicatessens and food writers use wurst when describing German-style sausages specifically, distinguishing them from the broader, more general English word sausage. A street stall selling wurst alongside mustard and bread is a familiar sight at German and Austrian festivals and markets.
