Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 7, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 October 1882 — Wiener-Wurst. [ARTICLE]

Wiener-Wurst.

Coming down street, I ran across the “ man < one of the night characteristics of this city.* Do you know what “Wiener-wurst” is? It is highly German and looks like a sausage, which it in fact is, loaded w ith

garlic and onions, and, unth one has taken on the Cincinnati acclimatization, the smell has a tendency to asphyxiate the victim. It is kept in a tin can or box at the street comers, and is always served piping hot, with a broadside of bread, price 5 cents. Dickey * tried it* just once for the sake of adventure, and, with an ugly face, tusked me as she spat it out: “Why do they call it Wiener-worst, Mary Jane?” “Because there jus no Wiener best, Dickey, dear,” she said. —Mary Jqne, in Courier-Journal.
