I don't know from this Meica brand or tourist fare at WM/CP. But at a
couple of local German grocery stores and deli's they have these vursts
that are more regulation in size, have German language labels and are
clearly packed in some kind of vinegar. I've never bought any, and
though I love almost any kind of pickle--or vurst--the idea of a
pickled vurst just doesn't sit right in my brain.

I guess I'll get a jar just to find out what's what. My only real
mental image is the researcher gorging on them in "Kitchen Stories".
