Without mustard, it’s all for the wurst! That’s exactly what Sebastian Hackenschmidt and Stefan Oláh think as well.

These stands bring together people from all walks of life—who knows, maybe a Würstelstand would even be the perfect place for political negotiations...? The newly revised edition is available HERE, richly illustrated and seasoned with a dash of Wiener Schmäh.

Get these colorful statement pieces HERE. And for those with a particularly sheep-savvy heart, you can even sponsor one of the rams.
