Sausages are a staple of German street food, and yet most places serve sausages in a round “semmel” bun. But the sausages are long (duh) so they just beg for a longer bun. Why do you think hot-dog-style buns aren’t more popular?

      First: It’s Wurst not what you wrote.

      Second: To my knowledge there is no traditional “Wurst on a stick” here in Germany.

        Sorry, on mobile. Wurst, right?

        My point is that adding a bun is less historically accurate than not. So Wurst on a stick would be closer to Wurst on a plate than Wurst in a bun.

          Neither sausage-on-a-stick fast food nor sausage-in-a-bun fast food bear any resemblance to the traditional German way of serving wurst. Neither is “closer” they are both a million miles away from the original.
