Weiwrste have nothing to do with German culture. At
least not in my book. Goethe, Schiller, Thomas Mann is
German culture. Bach is German culture. 

Polka and Wurst are sad mirrors of how other nations
perceive us - even if their ancestors did come from
here. Besides, those things are only customary in the
very southern part of Germany. the river Main (on
which our village lies) is called the "Weiwurst
Aequator" - go farther North and you won't find those
things. Even here they aren't that usual.

It's nice that people enjoy that part of German
heritage - it's just that it's not that much of a
heritage and more of a blown-up cliche of how we
live.
