What makes a bratwurst a bratwurst?
As opposed to some other type of German sausage. Is it the spices? The meat? The preparation? Honestly, I can't seem to figure it out.

Well, I figured Julia, but I was hoping for a specific title recommendation. I'll check out Mastering the Art of French Cooking, thanks. Anything else?
Cook the Book: New South Grilling
Roast beef. I'm pretty good with most things, but I've never quite gotten the big hunk o'meat quite the same as he used to. I'll keep trying, though.
Cook the Book: The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper
I would ask Harold McGee if there were any way to reheat an alfredo sauce without it @#*&$^@ breaking.
Cook the Book: 'Mario Batali Italian Grill'
I tend to like my grilled things more au naturel, but at the very least you need some salt.
Cook the Book: Wine Bar Food
Something more in the savory family, like a cold hors d'oeurve. Something bite-sized, with a little fat and salt. Cheese would be good. Mmmmm....
What makes a bratwurst a bratwurst?
HAGC-- but as kjgibson points out, courtesy of Wikipedia, boiling your brats is pretty common. I've think I've seen Johnsonville ads actually "teaching" how to properly prepare them in a beer and onion bath.
The etymology suggests that the fineness of the grind might be relevant-- I know a lot of Italian sausages have much larger grinds, but I'm not as familiar with German wursts.
Cook the Book: The Cornbread Gospels
My favorite cornbread comes from Chef Wayne's Big Mamou in Springfield, MA. Moist, buttery, sweet-- delicious.
Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
Cheesecake! Even better with a batch of bananas foster dumped on top.
