Wurst mart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bratwurst with sauerkraut and potatoes
A Wurst Mart, sometimes spelled Wurstmart or Wurst Markt, is a variation on a fish fry found predominantly in German-American communities. Wurst marts are usually held by churches as fundraising events, where people will pay for a buffet of sausages and other side dishes. Common side dishes include mashed potatoes, gravy and sauerkraut. The event is also known as a sausage fest.
Wurst Mart comes from the German word "Wurstmarkt" meaning Sausage Market. Wurst Marts are found mostly in small rural German-American communities in the Midwest, particularly around St. Louis.
