Braten means to roast, not boil.

He's referring to a type of knackwurst; a hotdog-like wurst that is boiled, and which some people refer to as a bratwurst.
The pig-intestine filled with minced meat and herbs is the stuff you throw on a grill, and what most people will expect. The latter one does not combine as good with sauerkraut as the first does.

Yeah, a weiner as the yanks call it, processed pig meat, turned into a slurry really, then boiled.
Not a brat wurst, which has to be gebratten. (if that is the past participle)

Gebraten is indeed the past thingy, and while even many Germans will associate it with "braten" (to pan-fry) that is not the origin of the name.

..which is why a wiener can technically be called a bratwurst, but don't expect a wiener of frankfurter when you order a bratwurst. It's confusing as can be

Bratwurst is not from 'brat wurst'? 'roast sausage', or 'fry sausage'?
Tell us what the origin is, because I dont believe you.

That's why I included the link. Seems it is derived from an English term that refers to the filling.

Thats BS. Pure and simple. I think he said it comes from 'bread'. Yes, we add bread crumbs to ours, as stated elsewhere. But brat is from braten. A roast, fried sausage.
And since English stemmed form german, why the hell would germans use an english word for 'bread' (when they have their own, brot) anyway?

I dunno; must be BS then 
It does explain why some people tend to refer to wieners and frankfurters as bratwurst. Must be just coincidence

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.

Only if that is the common explanation. It isn't. Language is a fluid thing that is mostly just based on what "everybody" thinks stuff means, not on what was originally intended.

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.
