Bratwursts

What's missing in this resource is the use of the term brät in reference to the small pork sausages known as bratwursts. I suggest a particular pronunciation in deference to other resources that would suggest that the word should be pronounced bræt in this instance. However, it is an American colloquialism derived from a German word, by a people who are largely descended from German immigrants. Why should it be bræt and not brät when referring to bratwurst? —This unsigned comment was added by 128.104.254.94 (talk • contribs) 2006-05-23 14:09:46.

I added the sense "bratwurst". When you see omissions like this, feel free to fix them yourself if you like! Rod (A. Smith) 03:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

@Sonofcawdrey:, Rather than just mentioning that the OED has modern cites, and you please add them to the page or the citations page, so that others of us can decide whether we consider them valid? Thanks. Kiwima (talk) 20:46, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
