"Es mir würst". Und nicht "Umlauts" - "Umlauten" bitte . . . Now wait for the flak . .
The subject of sausages should be banned from international discussion. There are those of us who spend much time in foreign parts and where the genuine British snorker is nothing but a mouth-watering memory.
A passable substitute can be obtained in Malta and I have enjoyed acceptable facsimiles in New Zealand. Germany, of course, has its own Wuerst Tradition and a very fine one it is too - my preference is for the Weisswürst bought from Klaus's little shop round the back of the Koelner Dom.
Forget the Far East, forget much of Europe (although the Polish Kielbasa, not the same animal of course, is pretty edible). You certainly can forget the US of A. There's a place in California producing "The Genuine British Banger" complete with Union flags all over the packaging and no more than 10% breadcrumbs (so it says) but it is, of course, ersatz. South America is a nightmare but I have yet to try Canada - I suspect there could be pleasant surprises there.
You really can't beat the genuine snagarooni and I'm hoping some kind moderator will pull the plug on this thread and end all this gastronomic misery.

I wonder if Manzes still do those jellied eels in Blackfriars . . .
