About knackwurst
Short, thick links of precooked beef and/or pork sausage that is well flavored with garlic. Knackwurst is usually boiled or grilled before serving, often with sauerkraut. The name comes from the German knack (crack) and worst (sausage). It was so named from the crackling sound the sausage makes when bitten into.
