L\u00ebtzebuerger Grillwurscht <\/h2>\n

L\u00ebtzebuerger Grillwurscht, originally called Thuringer, are inexpensive, small sausages that taste like a spicy version of the German bratwurst. They are often sold by street vendors and at roadside stands. New regulations prohibit the use of the word “Thuringer” as it is now regionally protected and reserved to sausages produced in the German free state of Thuringia. (en.wikipedia.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n
