A Wurstbrot is a slice of bread spread with thin slices of lunch meat or sausage. Additionally, the bread may be buttered to taste. It is a very simple and typical German type of sandwich, generally home-made, eaten cold, and popular as a snack, packed lunch as well as for breakfast or supper. The sausage used for spreading is never a bratwurst.If the sausage is put on a bread roll, it is called Wurstbrötchen.
