Answer 6

Brats are usually made of beef, pork & veal. Hot dogs are usually made of pork, beef & chicken.

The main difference is probably the spices used in the meats to give each one their distinctive flavor.

They both can be served on a bun with the same condiments. The brat has a tougher casing or skin than the hot dog, probably because the meat is of a coarser or heavier quality.

Answer 7

The difference is the spices they use to get the unique flavours. Wieners contain parts of the pig that you wouldn't want to know. Brats are purely pork meat and the skin is crunchier.
