OT: Radio programme

Thanks for the tip, Barry. Another series on BBC Sounds is Germany: Memories of a Nation - 30 programmes at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/b04dwbwz, each 15 minutes long, narrated by Neil MacGregor (one-time Director of the British Museum, now running the Humboldt Forum in Berlin). In One People: Many Sausages, he "focuses on two great emblems of Germany's national diet: beer and sausages", with Upper Franconia and Rauchbier getting a mention, although the programme inevitably doesn't go very deep. However, one of the speakers claims that Nürnberger Bratwurst contains cinnamon because the city was twinned with Venice - I thought it was marjoram that gives them their distinctive taste?
