Vienna sausage (German: Wiener Würstchen, Wiener; Viennese/Austrian German: Frankfurter Würstel or Würstl; Swiss German: Wienerli; Swabian: Wienerle or Saitenwurst) is a thin parboiled sausage traditionally made of pork and beef in a casing of sheep's intestine, then given a low-temperature smoking.[1][2] The word Wiener is German for 'Viennese'.[3] In Austria, the term Wiener is uncommon for this food item, which instead is usually called Frankfurter Würstl.[4]
