Bratwurst has been a staple of my diet my entire life - however, recently realizing that even Myra hadn't had one until she was 17 or 18, I began to wonder just how screwed up a worldview I had been living under, and now I'm really curious as to what regions the bratwurst has penetrated and which are still virgin territory.

So I put it to you c0r - how many of you have enjoyed a delicious Bratwurst before?

I remember having them as long as I remember eating.

This report is from the Middle Tennessee area: I was not exposed to this food when growing up.

Disclaimer: I do not speak for all TN rednecks, your mileage may vary.

COR version: the south has not been penetrated! (maybe)

The PNW has been exposed to brats, and they are win.

Thank god this is only a thread. Whenever I hear an American say the word "Bratwurst" I throw up a little in my mouth.

we just didn't grow up with bratwursts in NY. cookouts consisted of hamburgers and hot dogs and baked beans and potato chips. it's funny though, because after i had my first bratwurst during the 2 weeks that i was spending in Milwaukee that summer, i came back to NY and searched all the grocery stores until i found one that sold brats.

taco dip is another food i was never exposed to until i moved to Wisco.

Because of them pronouncing it with American accents or because you think Bratwurst are gross?



If it's because of the former, oh well, no one tell you not to be a pretentious dick about trivial things - if it's the latter, taste is taste, and you're clearly entitled to your own.

Which is exactly why I created the thread - it just seemed odd to me that the Northeast wouldn't have had the same kind of brat penetration as elsewhere.

The multicultural aspect of it doesn't surprise me, but I'm guessing if I actually visited Australia I'd definitely be pretty surprised to see things like brats there.
