Extrawurst

Extrawurst can be either a type of cold cut or part of a German idiomatic expression.

Smoked Extrawurst

Sausage type

Extrawurst is a type of Austrian scalded cold cut. It is moist, light coloured, fine textured and made from a well-spiced mixture of beef, pork and bacon fat.[1] In Austria, it is the most popular type of cold cut.[2]

It is similar to the American Bologna sausage, the Dutch Boterhamworst, the German Lyoner or Fleischwurst and the Swedish Falukorv.

It is cooked or served cold, often in a Wurstsalat, or as a cold cut.

One variety is the Pikantwurst, which has finely chopped red or green peppers added to it. Another type of Extrawurst called Gurkerlextra containing small chunks of pickled cucumber is also available.

German idiomatic expression

Extrawurst is also a frequently used German expression of disapproval[3] relating to someone wanting or receiving special treatment. One would say "er will immer eine Extrawurst gebraten haben" or "er bekommt eine Extrawurst gebraten" ("he always wants or gets an additional/special sausage grilled/fried for him") to express that someone wants something out of the ordinary.

gollark: I expect loads of complaints when I release to forums though...
gollark: Hmm, making it optional is an interesting idea, might do that.
gollark: Yes, it is indeed a feature. If they're sick, they'll *probably* be taken out within either 2 or 5 minutes (I forgot). That's untested, though.
gollark: If nobody finds a horrible bug before tomorrow, I'll put it in the fansites forum section.Cue complaints about the automatic removal-on-sickness feature!
