<font color=blue>Brat = Sausage?? </font color=blue>
Yep, if you're a Yankee./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Down south a "brat" is a spoiled and/or misbehaving child, so anyone talking about bratwurst uses the whole word./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif And they do have them in the grocery stores around here, but I never knew anyone who ate them./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif However, when I was in Pennsylvania I ate some and they're not bad.
Incidentally, from what I was reading on the news this morning, it sounds like the fires around Sydney are really bad; hope they're getting everything under control.
