Dont worry, many English people mispronounce words, or mistake their meaning.
They think decimate means to wipe out, not kill one in ten. Confuse think with thing, and mistake intense for intents. And on and on and on.
People are stupid.

It means that in ancient Rome, in Latin. Not in modern English where that practice is abandoned.

It means that in English too, if one cares to actually look at the meaning of words with any degree of intelligence.

Language is fluid, if it is still in use, but latin isnt, and nether are latin words.

It is. Official language of the Vatican
..and lots of our words are merely bastardizations of the latin words, sometimes with a slightly different meaning.

So what? Doesnt mean words shouldnt be used accurately.

Accuratly according to Latin? Or to common modern English?
Would make for weird headlines; a forest decimated by fire - so, the fire took one in ten trees?

Destroyed? Wiped out? There are many words that are more accurate.

So, according to a leading dictionary, it is accurate. Since we do not practice decimation anymore, the meaning has shifted.

Shirley this has to be a record for highest number of argumentative posts in a bratwurst thread. Maybe someone on the CP team can delve through the archives to be certain.

Eddie has that effect by pretending the other person used words they didnt. Here it was 'meatballs!'
After that the discussion had no chance of logic or reason.

The underwater chicken is stunning, but you have to have all the ingredients, fresh. Dont know if you can get kaffir lime leaves, but they have to be fresh. Galangal can be replaced with ginger, its close enough.
Eets smaaklick!

Might be a little bit more tricky to get everything fresh; but if the difference between dried and fresh herbs is similar to Oregano or chilli's, then it would not be the same taste.

Bratwurst (German: [ˈbʁaːtvʊɐ̯st] ( listen)) is a type of German sausage made from veal, beef, or most commonly pork. he name is derived from the Old High German Brätwurst, from brät-, finely chopped meat, and Wurst, sausage, although in modern German it is often associated with the verb braten, to pan fry or roast.
It's old vs new. I'm an old fella - I stick to the traditional.
Another great tradition I follow: leaving my phone on the desk, means when I'm not at my desk: either working elsewhere or more pointedly on my own time (i.e. at lunch), I don't any get phone calls.
BTW: the dish sauerkraut with [brat]wurst with was developed as a 1 pot meal (supposedly by by farmers - but was common with anyone less wealthy) - the kraut, potatoes, onions, perhaps a few other condiments and the wurst were all cooked together in 1 big pot. The modern restaurant version - where they cook the items separately is not the real deal, the flavour blending is just lost. If you've tried the proper version you'll realise cooking separately is not the same, it's a completely different animal, not even close, and you would probably never order it at a restaurant again. (BTW: there's a few other variants of the 1 pot meal - using both the same and other types of wursts.)
- @Eddy_Vluggen was almost correct but not quite - too young to know better?

What else would you make a sausage from if not finely chopped meat? Cubes?
This has revisionism written all over it.
(Anyway, finely chopped is gehackt, same as english hack, to chop)
