 ET> Twei is spelled incorrectly, it should be Zwei. :-)

if we're going to nitpick, it is a "Wurst" (sausage).
Depending on your favourites you might order
Rindswurst (beef - think about it nowadays :) )
Thueringer (thuringian recipe)
Bratwurst  (mashed pork/beef) usually with mustard
Currywurst (either from Rindswurst or Thueringer with Currysauce)

There are a lot of regional specialties from all over Germany.

Personally I prefer Bratwurst at barbequeue :)

To have a connection to the topic: you need money to pay any Wurst. Most
teller machines are using OS/2 to handle your money requests :). Until
recently it was a special 1.3 edition, now it is 3.0, afaik (at least at
Deutsche Bank last year). This bank has still a big deal in OS/2: ~50.000 OS/2 
servers worldwide, although most desktop machines are 95/NT :(.


Tschau...Thomas
