It is a smoked scalded sausage that consists of a sausage mixture (referred to as Brät) and a portion of meat.[1] It is available either in pairs joined at one end or portioned as sausages, encased in a thick casing. Typically served with mustard and horseradish, it is part of the standard offering of an Austrian Würstelstand (sausage stand).[2][3][4]
