Oh no. Nonono that won’t do. Are we talking like Nürnbergerle, Fränkische Bratwurscht, Thüringer Bratwurst, Rote Wurst? Just “Bratwurst” is not an adequate unit of measurement! It’s way too broad.

it was not; using increasingly absurdist units of measurement for this beat is the author’s bit and he (correctly, imo) finds it funny
