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.
i was very surprised to see them in Chile, until i found out there was a rush of Germans immigrating there in WW2.

What the fuck is a bratwurst?
Sounds like something out of Roald Dahl's BFG
-wurst is german for sausage, and they have different ones. Brat/Brock(or brot, i forget) currywurst etc.

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.
Mainly because the horrible mispronunciation hurts my ears. It's not about the accent, it's because the word has been integrated into the english language, not under the original german pronunciation, but apparently a modified and annoying one.
Oh yeah, and I don't like all sorts of Bratwurst, but Thüringer is great.

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.
labor day weekend you and rob should come down. we have a massive cookout. bring your wtf faces and an apetite.
