Extrawurst can be either a type of sausage or part of a German idiomatic expression.
Extrawurst is a type of Austrian scalded sausage. 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 sausage.[2].
It is similar to the American Bologna sausage, 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. Unlike the Extrawurst, it has finely chopped red or green peppers added to it.
Extrawurst is also a frequently used German expression[3] relating to someone wanting special treatment. One would say "Er will immer eine Extrawurst gebraten haben" (he always wants a special sausage roasted for him) to express that someone wants something out of the ordinary.
