• The published top 10 also features sucuk, chistorra, merguez, Alheira de Mirandela, chorizo a la parrilla, and kiełbasa wędzona, with the Nürnberger at No. 6.
• The Nürnberger is a small sausage of roughly 7–9 cm and about 25 grams, traditionally made from finely ground pork and defined by its signature marjoram seasoning.
• The name ‘Nürnberger Bratwurst’ has been EU-protected since 2003, and regional Franconian variants highlight local touches such as Würzburg’s use of white Franconian wine and Coburg’s pine-cone grilling.
