@jerry : my (country) neighbors, the Germans with their "Bratwurst", will probably disagree with you.
And to be honest, in a "Biergarten" on a sunny day in München, a Bratwurst and a liter of German beer go very well together (in my experience).
But then, I've been in various places all over the world, but never in the USA. Perhaps I just don't know what I've been missing in the last 65 years? 😃
