A trust fund brat is a sausage that one can purchase with money from a fund that has been foresightfully set up by a deceased relative. The fund is designed to yield monies (at least 4 monies in the fund that has since become the legal basis for all other such funds) on a per diem basis sufficient for the recipient to purchase a brat at one of a number of bratwurst emporia. The fund’s daily yield is tied to the price of the brat; in the first such trust fund, the price of a brat at Top Dog on Durant Ave in Berkeley CA was the basis for the distributed monies.
Trust fun brat attorneys advise those who wish to set up such a fund to specifically allow the recipient to purchase other types of sausage such as, but not limited to, kielbasa, calabrese, et al. When clients balk (“Oh Jimmy would never touch one of them dirty kielbasas, we raised our boy right”) attorneys point to the notorious Estate of Mustard v. Mustard case, in which the will of a well-known military figure was contested on the grounds of excessively narrow stipulation regarding type of condiment.
Note that while in most states a trust fund brat may be purchased on any day of the week, until 1969 the law in Massachusetts forbade trust fund brat purchases on Sundays (the law, incidentally, derived from a late 17th century ruling by Judge Samuel Sewall, who later repented of his harshness).

‘Home’, or ‘Wursthaus’. That is to say, is this where I can purchase them for Oktoberfest?
